🇷🇴 Romania recipe
Mamaliga
Mamaliga is the golden cornerstone of Romanian cooking, a simple yet deeply satisfying cornmeal porridge that has nourished the country for centuries. Made with nothing more than cornmeal, water, salt, and a knob of butter, it can be served soft as a creamy side dish or left to firm up and sliced. Paired with cheese, sour cream, stews, or simply on its own, mamaliga is the ultimate expression of Romanian culinary simplicity.
