Instructions
- Bring water to just before it starts to simmer.
- Pour in the cornmeal 1/4 cup at a time, stirring it in before each addition. This ensures the mamaliga will be free of clumps.
- Once all the cornmeal has been stirred in, turn heat down to medium-low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from sticking.
