Vincenzo, my favorite videos are those with your family in them. The love among your nonna and mama shines through. Family is the most important part of life, especially these days when we have so many distractions and worries. You are blessed to have such a beautiful and loving family.
When your grandma started adding mince to ribs and sausage, and poured even more oil onto it, i knew i found a right kind of cooking channel for me! That is, a no-nonsense proper home cooking channel! keep it up!
My grandfather moved to America from Falcade in Northern Italy when he was 4 back in the 19-teens. I remember my grandmother serving this after learning from her MIL, as an appetizer when she made sauce all day for spaghetti. I was having southern grits with my kids this morning and was telling them about how unique and delicious I remember it being. I went looking for a demonstration of polenta to show them and ran into yours. Thanks so much for the memories. I can almost taste it.
I agree, that video is one of my favorites too! I love the way she cooks with such passion and knowledge. She clearly has a deep understanding of food and how to cook it well.
You're very welcome! I'm honored to bring back cherished memories of your Nonna and Papa's polenta. Cooking is truly the best way to connect with our heritage and memories, don't you agree? I hope you'll continue to bring down traditions and share it with the younger ones.
We are Abruzzese as well, that brings back memories, one of my favourite meals that mum and dad made for us, same story why they did it that way. Dad always cooked the polenta as he was the only one to know when it was ready. We sat around and ate it off mums large enamel table in the basement, where she used it for making fresh pasta. I can still taste the unique flavour of polenta, sauce and ribs.
I learn new things every time I watch your channel. I never knew polenta was eaten spread out on the long table with everyone just digging in. Everyone looked like they were having the time of their lives. Thanks for sharing your love of food and your beautiful family with us.
Vincenzo, Italian cooks are the best in the world (my mother would agree). But your nonna is the best of the Italian cooks! Her polenta (we used to call it "mush") is amazing! I love the way it used to be served, covering the table! What a fabulous meal consisting of multiple layers of lusciousness! Thank you for sharing Nonna's recipes!
I wanted to make polenta but I didn't remember my nonna's recipe I have watched so many videos that I lost count but none of them was similar to the recipe I vaguely remembered when suddenly today I got this video in my recommendations and this is the polenta recipe I recalled from my childhood I'm so so happy! Thank you so much for sharing this brought so many fond memories.
This is pretty much how my family made it and it’s rare to see polenta “on the board” so thank you for inspiring me to make it again after many years. We are from Chieti and we don’t mix sauce into the polenta itself, just spread the cooked plain polenta on the board and then sauce it, but that’s a great idea. Brava la Nonna!
I love how they cook, just a pinch, a handful of this, a pinch of that. My Nona and Momma taught me to cook like this! I requested Baked Polenta (Polenta, Ragu, Hot Italian Sausage placed in oven dish and cooked in oven with pan of ragu and sausage on the side for topping).
Thank you for appreciating the precious moments with Nonna and Mamma! Those old pictures hold such special memories. 📸 I'm glad you enjoyed them. Stay tuned for more heartwarming content! ❤️👩🍳
She reminds me of my mother so much... Her love of cooking... I miss her cooking and sadly many of my favorite recipes, I could not learn and now that she is gone, it will forever only be a memory... Bless her soul...
Reminds me of my childhood. Used to live with My grandmother and she used to make a fried polenta with just browned butter for a lunch meal and I loved it. She grew up from northern Italy near Trentino I miss her cooking ❤.
I just made this recipe and it's same taste from the one my late grandma used to make. I was too young to get the recipe from her but I'm so happy you made this video so I can finally make it.
Just made my first batch of northern Italy polenta bread. Love it with avocado on top. And appreciate the abruzzo way of making polenta. I’ll definitely use this video as a reference for my next polenta. ❤
I love polenta, this looks awesome. I can remember Nona making polenta on the table with different toppings. I went after the mushroom tomato sauce section! But this looks delicious also.
Makes me miss our big family dinners…my nonna served it on a special board that her father carved, sometimes she would replace the polenta with wheatena and serve it in the shape of Italy 🇮🇹
Your nonna sounds like she was a wonderful cook. I love the idea of serving polenta in the shape of Italy! That's such a creative and thoughtful way to make the meal special.
My Papà used to tell me how they used to eat the polenta off the table as a family. He came from Pescara del Tronto, Provincia Ascoli Piceno in the Marche. It was destroyed by the 2016 earthquake sadly and I only got to see it once 5 years ago for 2 hours when his cousin showed us around. Remarkably and fortunately she survived the earthquake- but her house was destroyed. She lives in Rome 2 hours away? . She used to go to Pescara in the mountains to escape from the summer heat in Rome. It is near the Abruzzi region. I love old traditional family recipes. Reminds me of my child hood and my family.
I'm of Italian descent grew up eating traditional Italian dishes including polenta. But never knew they ate it straight from the table top. I learned something new .Saluti a partire dal Florida.
OMG! Another peasant dish. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've heard the story of how nonna would make a big slab if it and then pile the meat up in the middle so they would have to eat through the polenta with sauce to reach the meat. 😅 I guess that's what you do for a family of 10! I don't know where she found the energy. Your nonna is another great cook!
Thank you! Peasant dishes have a special place in Italian cuisine, showcasing the creativity and resourcefulness of our ancestors. Nonna's energy and love for cooking were truly remarkable. 🇮🇹👵👩🍳
Thanks so much for sharing your traditions and a wonderful bit of your familys history!!! It left something good and warm inside. ❤️ The polenta like the timbalo taste like coming home.
@@vincenzosplate Hi Vincenzo, I have tried both. It is happyness. The timbalo tasted like a dish my great grandmother used to cook. Your Nonna is fantastic. What you do here, too. Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Grazie. Guardo le ricette principalmente per studiare la lingua italiana, ma mi piace come avete fatto questo ricetta. Ho iscritto per studiare di più.
@@vincenzosplate That looks fabulous! I subscribed to your channel... I need to find a video for that wonderful sauce recipe! Then I can make this polenta! I have a question... as the polenta cooks very thick and you let it cool on the plate... it looked like it became a solid piece. Is that correct? I grew up with Italians and have always loved Italian food, but never was served fresh polenta. I have only had the grocery store polenta....I am very excited to make this recipe! Thank you so much! I look forward to more of your videos!
thank you for a lovely memory. My Mother used to make it exactly like your Nonna must be a traditional recipe from Teramo. Thank you for continuing to share our traditions.
Yum looks delicious i am making this soon can make this to low carb and vegan as am low carb and vegan started last tuesday onwards just saw this now was sleeping in the morning i am in Singapore love your videos making me hungry Thanks Ramya
Vincenzos Plate My Nonna was from Rocco SAN Giovanni. My father is from Villa Magna which is near Francavilla al mare. Both my parents are from Abruzzo ciao from Canada 🇨🇦
Now you've gone and done it.....I MUST go into the kitchen and make some. I LOVE polenta..any time of day..sweet or savory. My father (Czech heritage) would make it...
@@vincenzosplate My family is from Austria (Süd Tirol) and my mum serves polenta as a sweet dish for breakfast. The polenta is cooked with water and salt but left quite crumbly - usually in a large frying pan with lid. Then its served with sweet coffee (or coffee substitute for the kids). Some have the coffee in a mug but we pour the coffee over the polenta in a bowl. My children love it too! And I love the shared polenta idea - my parents both come from large families and they used to have one large pan on the table and everyone ate from their side. I love these traditions! Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the great video, grandma is so cute with her awkward gesture, so lovely to see you three together in one video!! But is she using a metal fork on a nonstick pan? Is no one else seeing this or what...
Eh, la nonna! Il buon cibo ce lo hanno tramandato, e speriamo che rimanga nel tempo con la sua genuinità. Bel video, Vincenzo, lo passo a mia moglie che, anche se la polenta la sa fare, questa è una bella e succulenta ricetta ben spiegata. Ciao, e grazie :-)) Pino
Yes it comes harder. Both my parents are from northern Italy "Treviso" i will be trying this way next time. Your Nonna's has some great recipe. God Bless.
Italian Polenta Extra virgin olive oil ½ onion, diced ½ carrot, diced 4 x pork and fennel sausages 2 x pork ribs 500g/16oz pork mince 250g - 1.4cups cornmeal 1lt - 4 cups water Parmesan Rock salt Fine salt METHOD: 1. For this Italian polenta recipe, add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil to a small pot, the add carrot and put it on the stove at a low-medium heat. 2. Leave it to fry for a minute or so before you add a whole pork sausage and two pork ribs to the pot, along with 500g of pork mince. 3. Mix the mince through so that it starts to brown and add some more EVOO to help it cook. Stir everything through to make sure it is cooked and ready to be added to the cornmeal polenta. 4. Then, add a pinch of salt, stir through and add 500ml of fresh tomato sauce. 5. To sweeten the taste of the sauce, add a touch of rock salt, and leave to simmer and cook through for at least an hour. 6. Now, it’s time to prepare the sausage you will add to the Italian cornmeal polenta (and it will also be used on top). Getting your medium size frypan, add some EVOO and place 3 more Italian sausages inside, breaking them up using a fork, by squashing and pressing them forward. They are to be enjoyed in pieces, not whole. 7. Cook this on a low-medium heat until well browned, adding 100g of veal mince and a pinch of salt. Mix this through and ensure it is well browned by moving the meat around with a wooden spoon. 8. Put a large pot on the stove, filling it with 1L of water. Leave it to heat up - but don’t boil it! 9. Add a pinch of rock salt to the water once it starts to heat and with the wooden spoon in one hand, get cornmeal in the other and slowly drop it into the water, while mixing it through with the spoon. 10. Don’t put all of the cornmeal in the polenta at once! You will see it start to grow in the water and eventually thicken, but the key is mix, mix mix! NONNA IGEA’S TIP: If you are using instant polenta (from a packet), make sure you read the cooking instructions carefully, adding the right amount of water and leaving it to cook for the time specified. 11. Using a ladle, pour a portion of the sauce you prepared earlier, into the cornmeal polenta, and mix it through. At the same time add half of the sausage mince you also prepared and stir it in. 12. Keep stirring the polenta until it is a thick consistency and it should start to bubble. 13. Be careful not to undercook your polenta or it will be runny and not set! TO SERVE: Get a small amount of sugo, and put it onto a flat plate, then add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top. Next, pour the polenta on top of the sugo, spreading it out and adding more delicious sugo on top with a light sprinkle of sausage mince left from earlier! Sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top, and add the sausage mince on top that was prepared earlier.
We Romanians do our mamaliga (polenta) mostly the same way. We put shred cheese, bacon bits and sour cream over it. Though we don't use tomato sauce, I've personally tried it and you can't go wrong! What's strange is, we both have been eating it for centuries and speak similar languages. So, who invented it first?? Noi, ori voi?? Cine era?? Anyway, Cui îi pasă? Nu este atât de important. Salut, Frate!!
Haha, it's like a delicious culinary mystery! 🤔🍽️🔎 Noi or voi, who knows? Let's celebrate our shared love for mamaliga and its tasty variations! 🇷🇴🇮🇹 Saluti, Frate! 🍲👋
That is the mother of all polentas! I think your family eats better than anyone in the planet!
@@vincenzosplate Yes she sure did!
@@blanchetv thank you!!!!
Blanche, I am between Italian and middle eastern cuisine, how can I resist anything. God help me, I can't.

Omg, I love her. She cooks without ego and completely on experience. This might have been my favorite video of yours, Vincenzo.
I agree, that video is one of my favorites too! I love the way she cooks with such passion and knowledge. She clearly has a deep understanding of food and how to cook it well.
If you have an Italian Grandma, and she cooks, you are indeed a very very very rich man! We love you Nonna!
oh, I fully agree with you my friend ❤🙏🏻 Nonna is precious!
Love watching Nonna sharing her knowledge with us. She is lovely. You are so lucky...
Thank you so much! She’s adorable
This is exactly how my Nonna and Papa made it! So very happy to see this, as we never got her recipe before she passed. Thank you!!❤️

Sembra facile nonna Yummy. Buonissimo. Lo proverò a farla qui a NYC. Un abbraccione
I love the way your Nona did the polenta at north 🇮🇹 style .
Thank you Marina ❤️
I heard them mention it being a northern dish. But then I read Abruzzo. Isn't Abruzzo in the south? I'm a little confused.
Hi , thank you for the recipe , it came perfectly
Glad to hear that 😍
Wonderful family...great plate
Mille grazie!
grazie a te Juan! La proverai?
I love how your Nonna uses a punch of salt, not a pinch 😉
Haahahahahfor her that was a small amount 😅
@@vincenzosplate I believe it 😉
Italian Polenta
Extra virgin olive oil
½ onion, diced
½ carrot, diced
4 x pork and fennel sausages
2 x pork ribs
500g/16oz pork mince
250g - 1.4cups cornmeal
1lt - 4 cups water
Parmesan
Rock salt
Fine salt
METHOD:
1. For this Italian polenta recipe, add a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil to a small pot, the add carrot and put it on the stove at a low-medium heat.
2. Leave it to fry for a minute or so before you add a whole pork sausage and two pork ribs to the pot, along with 500g of pork mince.
3. Mix the mince through so that it starts to brown and add some more EVOO to help it cook. Stir everything through to make sure it is cooked and ready to be added to the cornmeal polenta.
4. Then, add a pinch of salt, stir through and add 500ml of fresh tomato sauce.
5. To sweeten the taste of the sauce, add a touch of rock salt, and leave to simmer and cook through for at least an hour.
6. Now, it’s time to prepare the sausage you will add to the Italian cornmeal polenta (and it will also be used on top). Getting your medium size frypan, add some EVOO and place 3 more Italian sausages inside, breaking them up using a fork, by squashing and pressing them forward. They are to be enjoyed in pieces, not whole.
7. Cook this on a low-medium heat until well browned, adding 100g of veal mince and a pinch of salt. Mix this through and ensure it is well browned by moving the meat around with a wooden spoon.
8. Put a large pot on the stove, filling it with 1L of water. Leave it to heat up - but don’t boil it!
9. Add a pinch of rock salt to the water once it starts to heat and with the wooden spoon in one hand, get cornmeal in the other and slowly drop it into the water, while mixing it through with the spoon.
10. Don’t put all of the cornmeal in the polenta at once! You will see it start to grow in the water and eventually thicken, but the key is mix, mix mix!
NONNA IGEA’S TIP: If you are using instant polenta (from a packet), make sure you read the cooking instructions carefully, adding the right amount of water and leaving it to cook for the time specified.
11. Using a ladle, pour a portion of the sauce you prepared earlier, into the cornmeal polenta, and mix it through. At the same time add half of the sausage mince you also prepared and stir it in.
12. Keep stirring the polenta until it is a thick consistency and it should start to bubble.
13. Be careful not to undercook your polenta or it will be runny and not set!
TO SERVE:
Get a small amount of sugo, and put it onto a flat plate, then add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top. Next, pour the polenta on top of the sugo, spreading it out and adding more delicious sugo on top with a light sprinkle of sausage mince left from earlier! Sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top, and add the sausage mince on top that was prepared earlier.

We Romanians do our mamaliga (polenta) mostly the same way. We put shred cheese, bacon bits and sour cream over it. Though we don't use tomato sauce, I've personally tried it and you can't go wrong! What's strange is, we both have been eating it for centuries and speak similar languages. So, who invented it first?? Noi, ori voi?? Cine era??
Anyway, Cui îi pasă? Nu este atât de important. Salut, Frate!!
Haha, it's like a delicious culinary mystery! 🤔🍽️🔎 Noi or voi, who knows? Let's celebrate our shared love for mamaliga and its tasty variations! 🇷🇴🇮🇹 Saluti, Frate! 🍲👋
