PolentaIngredients:1 cup yellow cornmeal A pinch sea salt 3 1/2 - 4 cups water A wooden spoon or whisk for stirring Place water and salt in a pot, cover and bring to boil over a medium-high flame. When water is boiling, remove lid and you may begin slowly adding the cornmeal. This is traditionally done by using your hand and a funnel and sprinkling the grain into the water while stirring with your other hand. Stirring is important to prevent clumping! Continue this method until all the grain is used then continue to stir until all the water is absorbed into the grain. As the consistency becomes thick, the grain will begin to bubble up. Continue stirring to the point where the grain is able to sick to a spoon, then cover and simmer 30 - 40 minutes. You may place a flame deflector underneath the pot in order to distribute the heat more evenly and prevent burning. Serve the polenta soft. or, Place in a Pyrex dish to cool. Once cooled, polenta may be cut into squares, deep-fried, pan-fried or grilled. Either way, this dish is delicious served together with beans or sautéed vegetables. |
