Kachamak Corn Porridge (plant-based, gluten-free)

5 from 2 votes
Kachamak is a quick and comforting breakfast or side dish, inspired by a Bulgarian recipe.
It's a savory cornmeal porridge, a bit like American grits or Italian polenta.
I love the creamy simplicity in each spoonful.
Today I am by the ocean, so let us turn there for inspiration:
“if
the ocean
can calm itself,
so can you.
we
are both
salt water
mixed with
air.
― Nayyirah Waheed
May you have moments of calm on your path today.
