Slowly whisk in the cornmeal to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the porridge thickens and is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.

While the banosh is cooking, prepare the cracklings. In a separate skillet, cook the diced pork belly over medium-low heat until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Once the banosh is cooked, stir in most of the crumbled bryndza until it's partially melted and creamy. Reserve some for garnish.

Serve the banosh hot, topped with the remaining crumbled bryndza, crispy pork cracklings, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
