Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Polenta
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • 4 Cup Water
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the polenta into your pan and pour some water to that. Keep your pan on a medium heat setting and mix polenta and water.
  • Gradually add water while stirring frequently as it heats up, and season with salt. Pour in all the water.
  • Keep on stirring and control the heat, keep it on a lower heat setting if it's cooking too rapidly because the polenta needs to cook through.
  • Simmer down the polenta and keep on stirring as it thickens. Take from the heat when it's bubbling, as it can jump out of the pan (don't burn your hand).
  • Directly pour the Mămăligă into a serving plate or bowl as it's still hot and liquid. Serve up hot.

Notes

The Mămăligă will thicken as it cools down.
