    I love polenta, I crisp circles up and saute an assortment of mushroom. Serve the mushrooms over the crisp polenta rounds and grated parmesan cheese. It's an easy appetizer.

    As a kid people (non Italians) kept asking my Nana to make polenta and she finally did. They raved about it but no one else did. Same deal my father's family (Sicilian) only ate it during the Depression when times were hard. Real peasant food like grits.

      My northern Italian friends are snobbish about their own cuisine and wrinkle their noses when I talk about polenta. They also say it’s for peasants, poor southern Italians. They are super picky and particular about what they cook and eat. A little annoying, TBH.

    I made these today and served with a vegetarian chicken cacciatore poured over them. It was very good. The garlic added to the polenta broth adds a nice flavor to the polenta.

    This is a regular for me! You forget to say how much polenta: I use 1:4 ratio, that is, 1/4 cup polenta to each cup of liquid. Chicken stock cube, onion powder, smoky bacon powder or chopped, crisped bacon, sometimes a little spinach: the sky's the limit on seasonings!

    • @philipwagner9169

      Polenta on its own is very bland, like potatoes or bread. You can use it straight after boiling like mashed potatoes as a side, or like here, add lots of other flavours and let it firm up to fry. Some do it savoury, some sweet, and spread the triangles with jam. Let your imagination run riot!

    Why do products like polenta, grits or even pasta require you to let the water come to a boil first before adding the product in?

    • @Ekellemann
      @Ekellemann 4 місяці тому +2

      It's to have an accurate measure of cooking time. Different stoves, pots, pans etc will bring water to a boil in different amounts of time.

    • @kimhelms3669

      Adding pasta to boiling water is the standard method for cooking pasta. The rapid boil helps the pasta cook evenly and prevents it from sticking together. The high heat also helps extract the starches from the pasta, resulting in a firmer, more al dente texture.

      In contrast, adding pasta to cold water and then bringing it to a boil results in a softer, more mushy texture. The gradual heating process causes the pasta to absorb more water, leading to a less firm and less flavorful final result. The pasta may also stick together more as it cooks. n contrast, adding pasta to cold water and then bringing it to a boil results in a softer, more mushy texture.
