The story behind this recipe
Behind every taste is a story. Or a sleepy cook who accidentally drops their spinach dish into the mămăligă.
Well, I didn't exactly drop a whole pot of spinach into the mămăligă. But I was using the same spoon (since it was for the family), and it turned out to be something quite interesting. Mămăligă with the taste of spinach and a very lovely appearance.
The second time I recreated this accident on purpose, I sautéed the spinach in a pan with a little butter, garlic, and salt. I let it cook until all the water released by the leaves had evaporated.
Separately, I made the mămăliguță as usual, following the original recipe (if you don't know the original recipe, ask the elders. It is far superior in taste and consistency!).
Finally, I mixed the spinach dish and the mămăliguță together well with a whisk.
I served it with grilled trout and horseradish with herbs.
All the best!
