Polenta
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. In Switzerland and Italy, this cornmeal porridge is called polenta, while in Moldova and Ukraine it is known as mamaliga. Essentially, it's a simple porridge made from corn flour, very versatile in use—you can eat it plain, with sour cream, butter, grated cheese, vegetables, or even meat. But why am I explaining? Better try it once and see for yourself :) Good luck with your cooking! The dish is now ready to be served.
