Kelecos is a cornmeal-based dish from the Black Sea region, made by cooking cornmeal in a skillet with butter and fresh cheese. Similar to mihlama, this Rize specialty has a thicker, more pronounced cornmeal texture.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the cornmeal

10 min

Bring the water to a boil, then slowly add the cornmeal. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 8–10 minutes.

2

Add the butter

3 min

Add the butter and let it melt.

3

Add the cheese

7 min

Add the cheese and cook over low heat, stirring for 5–7 minutes, until it melts and blends into the mixture. Adjust the salt to taste.

4

Serve

Serve hot.

Reminder

Best eaten fresh and hot; it firms up as it cools. Add a little water when reheating to soften the texture. Allergen: Based on the ingredient list, this dish contains milk and dairy products. Check package labels for other allergens.
