A very simple and healthy traditional Romanian (or rather Balkan) dish that would make a superb lunch! The Mamaliga (Polenta) can also be used as a side dish, base, or garnish to numerous main course dishes. Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal (preferably coarse) |
4 cups water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups feta cheese (preferably imported) |
1 cup cottage cheese |
1 tablespoon parsley (chopped) |
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot.
2. Then, while constantly whisking, add the corn meal in a slow stream - this will prevent lumps.
3. Reduce to low heat then continue whisking the mamaliga frequently for about 30-40 minutes, till the mamaliga starts pulling away from the pot’s sides.
4. Add the crumbled feta and cottage cheese, sprinkle the chopped parsley on top and you are done!
