Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.

Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large pot for the pap.
Aproximativ 5 min.
3
Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, making sure there are no lumps.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adding the cornmeal slowly prevents lumps from forming.
4
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pap is thick and cooked through.
Aproximativ 25 min.
Nota bucătarului: The pap should be firm enough to hold its shape but still creamy.
5
Stir in the butter and grated cheddar cheese into the cooked pap until melted and combined.
Aproximativ 1 min.
6
While the pap cooks, prepare the tomato relish: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add the yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
8
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the canned chopped tomatoes, sugar, dried oregano, and black pepper to the saucepan.
10
Bring the relish to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Aproximativ 15 min.
11
Prepare the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
12
Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Aproximativ 1 min.
13
Gradually whisk in the warm milk until smooth and the sauce thickens.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adding warm milk helps prevent lumps.
14
Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese and nutmeg until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Aproximativ 1 min.
15
Assemble the paptert: Spread half of the cheesy pap evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a spatula to spread it smoothly.
16
Spoon the tomato relish over the pap layer.
Aproximativ 1 min.
17
Cover with the remaining pap.
Aproximativ 1 min.
18
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top layer of pap.
Aproximativ 1 min.
19
