Today I will talk about a traditional food from Romania, It a rlly popular one and everyone loves it .Mamaliga
Known as the country’s national dish, mamaliga is cornmeal-based porridge. You may know it by another name – polenta.
It’s thick and wonderfully creamy.
However, unlike polenta, which people sometimes eat in its soft, porridge-like form, you’ll leave the mamaliga to harden into a solid circle of yumminess.
Other than water, salt, pepper, and something creamy to serve with it, you’ll only need two ingredients to make mamaliga – cornmeal and butter.
Plus, unlike the first two recipes on the list, this one only takes 25 minutes to make.
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup coarse yellow cornmeal
Sour cream, optional
Telemea, or feta cheese, optional
Fresh herbs of choice, optional
Steps to make it
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil. Add the salt and butter, stirring to melt.
- Using a wooden spoon, add the cornmeal very gradually, while stirring constantly in the same direction.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Serve hot with sour cream, cheese, and/or herbs if you prefer.
