Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Stir cornmeal, water and salt together in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and, stirring frequently, cook 12 minutes or until thick enough to be scooped. Stir in butter and adjust seasonings.
  2. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350 degrees. Using a cookie scoop, portion out balls. Flatten mamaliga in the palm of your hand, add a chunk of salami to the center, seal completely and roll into a ball.
  3. Fry balls 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with sliced tomatoes and fresh herbs or, to be untraditional, with a marinara dipping sauce.
