Polenta is cornmeal that is cooked for a long time in water. It was once the staple food of people living in the mountainous regions of northern Italy.
3 1/2 cups | water | 900 mL | |
1 tsp | salt | 4 g | |
1 1/2 cup | cornmeal (polenta) | 200 g |
Use 1 part flour to 4 parts water (or broth or milk), but increase the amount of liquid if the cornmeal contains coarser grains or if you want a softer result ("all'onda", i.e., polenta that has a ripple effect).
