Place salted water in a large pot set on medium heat. Slowly pour polenta into pot in a steady stream, stirring continuously Ï the more you stir, the better the texture. |
|
When polenta thickens and bubbles a little, resembling a porridge-like consistency, lower your heat and continue to stir. |
|
Tradition says to stir in one direction and since the constant stirring is a lot of work, I suggest doing this as well. It doesnt hurt to be traditional! |
|
Cooking time is approximately 30 minutes. When polenta is done, pour it onto a flat surface and flatten it out evenly with a spatula. |
|
Let sit until it cools and cut into squares. Polenta can also be enjoyed in porridge form. Simply add some extra virgin olive oil, parmigiano cheese and serve hot. |
