Mămăligă is a traditional Romanian dish made from cornmeal or polenta. It is typically served with sour cream, cheese, and various types of meat, such as sausage or smoked pork. The dish has a slightly sweet taste due to the cornmeal and can be cooked in different ways, depending on personal preferences.
To cook mămăligă at home, you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups of water
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1 cup of fine cornmeal
Here are the steps to follow:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil.
2. Gradually add the cornmeal while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
3. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir until the cornmeal has absorbed all of the liquid and has thickened into a porridge-like consistency (about 15-20 minutes).
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
Mămăligă is often served as a side dish or can be used as a base for other dishes, such as mici (meatballs) or ciorbă (soup). It can also be chilled and sliced into pieces to make it easier to eat. However you decide to serve it, mămăligă is a delicious and traditional Romanian dish that is worth trying!
