Tochitură is a Romanian pork stew, simmered with sausage and bacon and finished with smoked paprika, served on mămăligă with a fried egg and crumbled brânză. The Carpathian and Bucharest cold-weather plate.

Tochitură is a Wallachian peasant dish, regionally adapted: the Bucharest version uses pork ribs, sausage and slănină; the Moldovan version adds borș. The traditional pairing is with mămăligă and brânză, a fried egg slid on top in restaurants. The pomana porcului winter pig-slaughter feast lays the foundation for the household tochitură.
