MAMALIGA CU BRANZA (CORNMEAL MUSH WITH CHEESE)
Mamaliga is a traditional Romanian Recipe. When one thinks of mush, it is usually unappealing. If you are familiar with and like Polenta, here is the Romanian version. We call it Mamaliga. When I was a child, my mother would serve Mamaliga, on its own, with fish, or other meats, instead of bread. It is equally good the next day, because it can be cut into pieces, and dipped into a tocana (stew) or ciorba de fasole (bean soup). The next day, Mamaliga may be served for breakfast, fried with bacon, or sausages.

GRANDMA'S CORNMEAL MUSH WITH CHEESE
My grandparents ate cornmeal mush A LOT. Usually they ate it plain for breakfast, but if grandma had family over for dinner she would sometimes make it this way. It was a main dish, served with biscuits and garden vegetables. I didn't learn to cook until my twenties, and after a few successes, I was, perhaps, a bit full of...

Steps:
- 1. Bring water to a boil in an oven-proof pan. When boiling, add salt and pepper and remove from heat.
- 2. Stirring constantly, slowly trickle cornmeal into water. Stir well, to eliminate lumps. Return to heat and bring back to a boil. Turn down the heat and cook slowly until the mush thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring often. It should be about the thickness of thick cake batter - if too thick, stir in a bit more water.
- 3. Melt butter, pre-heat oven to 350. Pour butter to cover bottom of baking dish. Spoon in half of the cornmeal mush to cover bottom of baking dish. Spread half of the sour cream over the mush,then sprinkle with half of each cheese. Repeat the layers - mush, sour cream, cheeses.
- 4. Place in the oven for a few minutes, just until the cheeses are melted and the top is lightly browned. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cornmeal and saute, stirring constantly, for about a minute so that the grains are coated with oil. Add the broth and bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat, whisking all the while. When cornmeal comes to a simmer, it will bubble up vigorously. Quickly put a lid on saucepan, turn heat down to very low and cook the cornmeal until it no longer tastes raw, about 20 minutes.
