Polenta is an Italian store-cupboard staple. It originates from the 'cucina povera' of northern Italy. Made by grinding corn into flour, or meal, it has a rich yellow colour, and has a slightly sweet flavour. Polenta can be cooked to be thick and creamy, or allowed to set and then sliced. Serve instead of pasta, rice or potatoes. You can even use it in place of breadcrumbs to coat chicken or fish when frying!
Ingredients: Italian Maize Flour (pre-cooked)
