Polenta is an Italian style dish, with a porridge-like consistency, generally made of coarsely ground corn meal, although there are variations that incorporate other flours. Polenta can be used in the same way you'd use pasta, as a substitute for mashed potatoes, or, when it's cooled to a firmer consistency, it can also be fried, like French Fries and used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make: Marco's Polenta is a basic recipe. |
