Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Yes, polenta is Italian and is cooked up cornmeal. The recipe I posted creates a mush, like mashed potatoes, but it can then be put into any type of greased pan, loaf, cookie sheet, etc to set and then sliced and baked or fried. It is very versatile and is delicious with a tomatoe-based sauce. It is a great substitute for potatoes or pasta. The recipe I posted can easily be halved. Did you see the recipe? Here is it again, this makes a lot: 2 c yellow cornmeal 2 c cold water 4 c veggie broth Pour cornmeal into a medium sized bowl and add the cold water, stirring constantly. Bring the veggie broth to a boil in a large saucepan, slowly add the cornmeal mixture and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Turn heat down to medium low. Use back of spoon to break up any lumps. Cook until the polenta is thick and slowly falls off the spoon, about 15-20 minutes. It is now ready to eat or you can set it as mentioned above and then slice it to bake or fry. Have fun trying a new food! Denise , paul v <paulvatoloco> wrote: > > Can you tell me what polenta is?
