Description

Yellow Corn Polenta is a dish prepared with cornmeal as the main ingredient, originated in northern Italy. It is a porridge or mush made from coarsely ground yellow cornmeal with 1 part cornmeal to 4 parts water and salt to taste. Though it has a creamy texture the individual grains are still tender on cooking. It can be served topped with butter and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for garnish. As it cools, it hardens and can be cut into squares and served. It is considered as a tasty and gluten-free alternative to wheat-based staple foods.

Selection Guide

To make yellow corn polenta at home, avoid purchasing finely ground cornmeal or cornflour with too fine of consistency as it will give the finished dish a pasty texture.
