Mămăligă (Polenta)

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Vegetable Stew

1

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Add Remaining Vegetables

Stir in the diced carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.

3

Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth

Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes.

Boil the Water

In a separate pot, bring the water to a boil and add the salt.

5

Add Cornmeal

Gradually whisk in the cornmeal to prevent lumps. Cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 10-15 minutes).
