Cicvara

Cicvara is a traditional peasant dish originating from Montenegro and some areas in Herzegovina. The dish is usually made with a combination of corn flour, fresh cottage cheese or semi-hard cheese, milk, water, salt, and matured kaymak. The cheese is melted in water and milk, and when the flour is added, the mixture should be vigorously stirred until done. Regardless of the name and numerous variations (almost every family has their own way of preparation), cicvara started out as peasant dishes that provided the much-needed calories for a full day of work in the fields. It's recommended to serve the porridge in wooden bowls. If desired, top it with herbs, bacon bits, sour cream, or honey.
