Salty Corn Porridge
A thick, creamy porridge made from ground corn, often served with butter, cheese, or even savory toppings like herbs and olive oil.
Ingredients:
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal (or coarse cornmeal)
4 cups water or milk (or a combination of the two)
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup grated cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
Black pepper and herbs for seasoning
Olive oil or melted butter for garnish
Directions:
Boil the liquid: In a saucepan, bring the water or milk to a simmer. Add the salt.
Cook the cornmeal: Whisk the cornmeal slowly, stirring to prevent lumps.
Simmer: Reduce heat and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy.
Add butter and cheese: Stir in butter and cheese for extra richness.
Finishing touch: Season with black pepper, drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, and garnish with herbs.
Serve warm: Enjoy as a side dish or on its own.
