Kačamak

Kačamak or bakrdan is a simple dish made by cooking cornflour in salted water, similarly to Italian polenta and Romanian mămăligă. After the corn mixture has thickened, it is usually mixed with melted butter or pork fat and oil, and it can then be alternatively baked in the oven. This corn flour specialty is consumed throughout the Balkan countries, and it is commonly eaten for breakfast with dairy products such as sirene (a type of white cheese), plain yogurt, sour milk or cream, and kaymak (a thick cream). The dish can also be eaten as a light meal for lunch or dinner, and some people like to combine it with pieces of fried pork, cracklings, or fried bacon for a more substantial meal.
