Moldovan cornbread is a staple although it should not be confused with what is considered to be the national dish called mamaliga. This cornbread is moist and savory with the addition of cheese and sour cream. Serve it alone with a slice of feta cheese, sour cream or alongside a soup or stew. We enjoyed it paired with Moldova's hangover cure, a soup called zeama. Enjoy!
