How to Make Mamaliga
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt.
- Gradually sprinkle the cornmeal into the boiling water while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula. The mamaliga will start to thicken as it cooks.
- Cook the mamaliga for about 20-30 minutes, stirring regularly, until it reaches a thick, porridge-like consistency.
- If desired, stir in the butter for added flavor and creaminess.
- Once done, remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the mamaliga hot, either as a side dish or as a base for toppings. It's commonly enjoyed with grated cheese, sour cream, or as an accompaniment to stews and sausages.
