Polenta Flatbreads

To prepare a delicious recipe for stuffed mamaliga, we start by preparing the necessary ingredients. You will need leftover mamaliga, flour, cheese, telemea, olive oil, and fresh salad leaves. The first step is to crumble the mamaliga well, so that you achieve a fine consistency that facilitates mixing with the flour. It is important to add the flour gradually to control the texture of the dough. It will absorb the moisture of the mamaliga, and depending on the amount of mamaliga used, you will need a variable amount of flour.

Once you have obtained a homogeneous composition, work the dough until it becomes elastic and easy to shape. It should be pliable enough to be rolled out, but not so soft that it sticks to your hands. Once the dough is ready, take portions the size of a medium apple and form balls. These balls will then be flattened with a rolling pin on a floured surface, thus obtaining thin but not very fragile shapes.

Place each piece in a preheated non-stick pan over medium heat. Bake each piece for 4-5 minutes on each side until they become slightly golden and crispy. When they are ready, remove them from the pan and prepare the filling. The filling can be customized according to your preferences. A classic and delicious combination is cheese and telemea, but you can also add other ingredients such as olives, mushrooms, or even sautéed vegetables.

After you have filled each piece with the desired cheese and telemea, drizzle with 3-4 drops of olive oil for added flavor and shine. Add a fresh salad leaf for a pleasant contrast and crunchy texture. These stuffed mamaliga can be served warm, as an appetizer or main course, and will surely bring a touch of joy to your table. Enjoy every bite and savor the authentic taste of the recipe!
