A good basic recipe for cooking polenta
(cornmeal specifically ground for making polenta).
Basic Polenta
- 4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup polenta
2 tablespoons butter
- In a medium-sized saucepan over medium
heat, bring the 4 cups of water and salt to a boil. Gradually
stir in polenta in a small, steady stream. Finish cooking polenta
in the top of a double boiler, stirring frequently, for about
25 minutes. Stir in the butter.
- Serve as is, or with a sprinkling of Parmesan
cheese, or with your favorite tomato, meat, or vegetable sauce.
Cold polenta may be sliced, brushed with butter or olive oil
and broiled, or pan fried in butter or olive oil until golden
brown.
Serves 6.
