Polenta - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups cornmeal
3 tablespoons butter
Preparation
-
First, pour the cornmeal and 2 cups of the cold water into a large bowl. Whisk it so there are no lumps.
Next, pour the remaining 4 cups of water and the salt into a pot, and bring to a boil.
Now, gradually stir in the cornmeal and cold water mixture.
Let the cornmeal and water simmer gently. Stir frequently, so there's no sticking. It will take about 30 minutes until it's very thick.
At the end, mix in the butter.
Butter a bowl for the polenta to cool. The polenta will take shape of the bowl after sitting for about 10 minutes.
Once it's set, invert the polenta onto a flat plate. You can cut it into thick slices and top with tomato sauce and grated cheese.
