About Mamaliga cu branza
Mamaliga Cu Branza is a traditional Romanian dish made from polenta and cheese, often paired with sour cream or butter. Its main component, mamaliga, is a thick porridge made by boiling cornmeal in water and is a staple in Romanian cuisine. Branza, typically a type of salty, crumbly cheese like telemea, adds richness and protein to the dish. Mamaliga Cu Branza is a hearty and comforting meal that reflects the simplicity of rural Romanian cooking. Nutritionally, polenta is a gluten-free complex carbohydrate, offering dietary fiber and energy, while the cheese provides calcium, protein, and fat. Sour cream or butter—often used as toppings—can add flavor but also increase the fat content. This dish can be adapted for lighter versions by using low-fat cheese or yogurt instead of sour cream. Mamaliga Cu Branza is a balanced combination of carbs and protein, making it both satisfying and wholesome in moderation.
