Mamaliga, as we know, is a popular Moldovan, Romanian dish and Western-Ukrainian dish. Before the discovery of America and the mass cultivation of corn, hominy was prepared from millet, later switched to corn flour (since cornmeal from corn flour proved to be more delicious).
It is a mistake to believe that mamalyga is porridge. Corn porridge is made from a coarse grind, and it turns more liquid. The Pridnestrovian riddle about the hominy: "boiled bread, a knife" - hominy in form resembles a round loaf of bread, and the finished dish is cut into slices with a stretched thread.
Usually, hominy is cooked in cauldrons using a special wooden mixer. Progress, however, does not stand still, in that and number, and in the field of kitchen appliances. The rhythm of modern urban life forces us to give up time-tested ways in favor of more convenient and fast ones. Therefore, hominy in the multivarquet is a modern tasty, quick-to-prepare dish. There are not a lot of ways to cook hominy in a multivark.
