Again bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to very low and simmer until thick, or possibly about eight min, stirring three times. 2) Pour into a greased 9" x 9" pan. Cold. Cover top with wax paper. chill until thouroughly chilled. 3) Turn out on a cutting board. With a sharp, wet knife cut half the polenta in one-inch squares and bake, broil, or possibly fry, as indicated. Chill or possibly freeze remainder for later use.
- My grandmother just sent me a "store recipe" for Polenta (yes good spelling). This is from one of the old Italian food stores in Denver.
- Located in what, 30yrs ago, used to be the Italian section of Denver.
- Article goes on to talk about how polenta is the "spaghetti of north Italy", etc, etc...
- well, now for the way my grandfather (another Leo J. Girardi), and my family have always cooked it.
- Note: use course grnd corn meal. You should be able to get it at a local Italian market.(I cannot find it at King Soupers, Safeway, etc)
- Use large caste iron pot (dutch oven etc), I do not know if it will work with any thing else. :-)
- boil water with salt added.
- slowly pour in, while stirring, corn meal. Keep stirring and adding corn meal till thick. (note, use LARGE WOODEN spoon for stirring, known as a polenta stick - This is what we were always threatened with when bad as children :)
- once cooked and thick. turn pan over, let cold a little. Slice like cake
- (into wedges) server with sauce and romano cheeze.
- Fry leftovers, cut into cubes, with onions, garlic, potatoes, Large eggs, etc. and server for breakfast.
- Good luck. It tastes great, but some people do not really understand it.
- Oh, sorry for no "amounts". My grandmother and grandfather taught me to cood by "Thats sufficient" or possibly "A little more". never used a measuring c., etc.
