How to prepare polenta
9 Cups Cold Water



1 Tablespoon Sea Salt


2 Cups Cornmeal


Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the salt and reduce the heat to medium low. As soon as the water begins to simmer, start pouring in the cornmeal in a thin stream, very slowly while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps. Once all the cornmeal has been added, keep the water at a simmer, and stir frequently. It should take between 25-30 minutes to fully cook the polenta. Once cooked, the polenta should pull away from the sides of the pot easily.




Soft Polenta: Use polenta directly out of the pot, topped with sauce or vegetables as desired.


Firm Polenta: Once completely cooked, pour onto a wooden board or a greased baking sheet about 2 inches thick and allow to set. Cut into squares and serve as desired.


Baked Polenta: Cut the firm polenta into slices, and place in a buttered baking dish. Add desired topping, and bake at 375 degrees F. until golden.


Grilled Polenta: Cut firm polenta into squares, brush with oil and grill lightly on both sides.


Fried Polenta: Cut the firm polenta into slices and fry in a few inches of hot oil until golden brown and crispy.

Laura,
About the polenta--not sure how you prepared it, and believe me, I'm no expert--but the only way my family has liked it so far is when it is firm and formed/cut into rounds that are stir-fried in butter until browned. Then I have topped the rounds with a chunky tomato-based sauce, maybe with sausage and some more vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, or onions. The organic polenta-in-a-tube that you can buy works well for this preparation and makes a decent amount for a family of four.

Hi! I just started my own food blog at http://foodcouch.blogspot.com/ and I have a few recipes in there already. I decided a separate blog dedicated to my cooking is a better idea than keeping everything that interests me posted in just one blog. Hope you can visit me there!
