A basic accompaniment to most Romanian dishes, it is very similar to Italian polenta.
Ingredients:
1 cup coarse cornmeal/maize flour
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
1. Heat the water in a non-stick pan and add the salt and oil.
2. When the water starts to boil, pour the cornmeal all at once and start stirring with the tail end of a long wooden spoon. The cornmeal will begin to bubble, turn the heat down and continue stirring to prevent lumps.
3. The mamaliga will be ready in 8-10 minutes. To test, wet the tail end of a wooden spoon with water and insert it into the mixture. When it comes out clean, it is ready.
4. How firm the Mamaliga is depends on how much cornmeal you use and how long you cook it.
5. Serve with sour cream or feta cheese on top.
