Zacusca is a traditional vegetable spread from Romanian and Balkan cuisine, renowned for its rich flavors and wholesome ingredients. Typically made with roasted eggplants, red peppers, onions, and tomatoes, it is seasoned with sunflower oil, salt, and sometimes spices for added depth. Its slow-cooked preparation brings out natural sweetness and a smoky taste, making it a versatile accompaniment to bread, crackers, or as a side dish. Low in saturated fat and high in fiber from the vegetables, Zacusca offers several nutritional benefits, including vitamins A, C, and potassium, supporting immune health and heart function. However, its oil content can contribute to caloric density, so moderation is key for those watching fat intake. Free from preservatives when homemade, Zacusca is a flavorful and health-conscious option embraced by those seeking plant-based spreads rooted in tradition.
