Marmaliga image

The history of this dish is a little fuzzy for me. My grandfather & grandmother came from Romania and I always cooked this for my grandfather. My father also enjoyed eating this, and I remember that they told me that they use to eat this in the "old country". We always served this with sour cream, cottage cheese and sugar, My MIL whose family came from Russia used to mix the cornmeal in a glass with a little water, so that there would be no lumps. I usually make it with water and a little milk, it also can be made with just water.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the roasted vegetables and the cheesy polenta.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover polenta. I made a batch of polenta the night before and then used it to make this dish the next day.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cheese sauce didn't turn out very smooth. It was a bit lumpy.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but this recipe changed my mind. The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the cheese sauce was the perfect topping.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polenta turned out really gummy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This recipe was a disaster! The polenta was too runny and the cheese sauce was bland. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

I would give this recipe 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that it was a bit too salty for my taste. I think next time I'll use less salt.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan and it was still delicious.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out great. It's a simple dish to make, but it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the cheese sauce was the perfect topping. I will definitely be making this again.
