Parjoale is the Romanian word for "burger" but I found it Of a "meatball".

26 June is Flag Day in Romania. A similar flag was first used by the revolutionaries in 1848. In 1866 it was confirmed by the Constitution. Click on culinary calendar for Links between cooking and celebration.

Mix the cream with the garlic and pepper and salt to taste; distribute the kohlrabi slices on the bottom of a greased oven tray and pour the cream on top; bake for 30 minutes on 170 degrees Celsius. In the meantime, stir fry the mushrooms 5 minutes in the butter; add the pork and stir fry 5 minutes more. Add the brandy and the soy sauce, bring this to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Arrange the pork and the kohlrabi nicely on plates.
