When we posted a shout-out for ideas to deal with our "surplus polenta", Donna came to the rescue. Here is what she said:
In Bosnia and Herzegovina we have this really really old and simple but very delicious meal. Other Balkan countries make it too, coz we have similar culture. It is called Pura. Here is the receipe(for 2 plates): 4 dcl of water (2 cups), 200 gr of polenta, spoon of salt, 2 spoons of oil and 20gr of butter, yoghurt, cottage cheese, and garlic (if you like)...Instructions: Boil water together with salt and oil. When it starts boiling add polenta and keep on stirring until all the water has vaporized. Pura is done and you can move it aside to wait until you prepare dressing. In a bowl mix up cottage cheese, a bit of salt, yoghurt and add garlic if you like. (put as much as you like). In a frying pan melt, but just melt and heat 20 gr of butter (don't let it get brown) and put it aside as well. Serve one or two spoons of Pura, cover with mixture of cheese and yoghurt and put just a bit of melted butter on top. Have a nice meal! (Prijatno!)
This was super-easy to make, and great comfort food for winter!
