Make cornmeal mush with hot water to firm consistency. Roll into golf-ball sized balls make hole in center of ball and stuff with ham, chopped cooked bacon or slanina, sautee'd mushrooms, chopped boiled eggs, sunflower seeds or walnuts, crushed, fresh basil, parsley or other herbs and/or any combination of the above. Close opening and bake on cookie sheet in medium(325F) oven for thirty minutes. Serve with cold sour cream topper or yogurt on the side, with braised cabbage on the side(stir fry). For lent or vegans you can use mushrooms fried with the onions. Or they also work good with any fresh fish, filetted boneless, with a tartar(1/4ts cream of tartar, sweet pickle relish and mayo to taste) sauce on the side, or to get really gross I would use ground fresh chicken, beef or venison liver braized in butter or bacon fat, and add sharp cheddar or feta cheese, drain and stuff as above.

Comment by Mark Miklas:

Gris translates to Semolina or groats or Grits, a coarse ground grain, usually corn. Being married to a woman of Transylvanian descent, I would pass these along. Mamaliga is usually served with a Picata di Fui (roast chicken w/gravy) or other meats. It's kinda like cornmeal mush but fried with fat in a pan.
