Mamaliga Recipe – The national dish of Moldova

The traditional Moldovan mamaliga recipe is made in a pot. Here’s how to make mamaliga step by step, as pictured. This is the basic recipe, but you can adapt the proportions depending on the number of people at the table.

• 
  In a pot boil water over high heat.
• 
  Add salt, and wait until the water boils.
• 
  I used this corn flour, you can use whatever you like. Pour in a cup (250 g) of corn flour to make it easy to pour a little bit into a glass.
• 
  Pour a little flour into boiling water.
• 
  Immediately stir with a whisk to avoid lumps. First, pour half a glass of flour.
• 
  After a minute add the other half a glass, and stir simultaneously.
• 
  Cook for 10 minutes with a lid.
• 
  Press with a spoon from time to time.
• 
  Remove the mamaliga from the pot.
