The history of this dish is a little fuzzy for me. My grandfather & grandmother came from Romania and I always cooked this for my grandfather. My father also enjoyed eating this, and I remember that they told me that they use to eat this in the old country . We always served this with sour cream, cottage cheese and sugar, My MIL whose family came from Russia used to mix the cornmeal in a glass with a little water, so that there would be no lumps. I usually make it with water and a little milk, it also can be made with just water. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
2 cups milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup yellow cornmeal |
1/4 cup unsalted butter or 1/4 cup unsalted margarine |
freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional) |
sour cream (optional) |
cottage cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan combine water, milk, salt, cornmeal & unsalted butter or margarine.
2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3. Cook until butter is melted and mixture is thick, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Serve topped with a spoonful of cottage cheese and sour cream.
5. Marmaliga can also be served plain with a little sugar or with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Enjoy!
