Ground corn maneštra
Maneštra made from ground corn is completely different from its fresh variant. Corn used to be ground in home mortars or mills.
This maneštra is thick, hearty and filling. It’s a shame it is eaten less today, as nobody wants to grind the corn anymore. It can be found in Trieste in one-kilo packages.
