Quick Polenta

== Description ==
In Romanian: Mamaliga pripita
== Ingredients ==
* 1 lb / ½ kg cornmeal
* 1½ qts / 1½ l water
* salt 
== Directions ==
# Set the pot with water to boil.
# When the water is hot, add salt.
# Sprinkle a little of the cornmeal.
# When it starts boiling, place a wooden spoon in the pot and start to gradually add the cornmeal (rain-like).
# Keep mixing with the wooden spoon.
# When the polenta seems sufficiently dense, stop adding cornmeal.
# Keep mixing, pressing the polenta towards the edges of the pot.
# When the polenta is cooked through, take the wooden spoon out and clean it with another wet spoon.
# Start gathering the polenta towards the center of the pot and let it boil for a few more minutes.
# After it has made a few more steamy bubbles, grab the pot with oven mitts, shake it a few times and pour the polenta on a wooden cutting board.
# The quick polenta is softer than boiled polenta and is served with fried eggs, cheese and sour cream, etc.
