Traditional Romanian Polenta
Ingredients
1L water
200g organic cornmeal
1 tsp sea salt
Preparation
1
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add sea salt.
2
Take cornmeal by the handful and add to water slowly. Stir quickly to avoid lumps. Use a long handled wooden spoon( I used one with a hole in the middle which is more suitable for liquid consistency meals).
3
Cook for 20 minutes, stirring constantly. Polenta will become very thick while cooking. It is done when it comes away cleanly from the sides of the pot.
4
Pour polenta in a round shape form and let it cool for 15 minutes.
5
Cut cooled polenta into slices and serve!
About
This is such a simple recipe and yet it can be modified in so many ways to create new and even more delicious recipes. This is the basic polenta with just 3 ingredients: water, cornmeal and salt. I often eat polenta instead of bread because it is much healthier and also it contains a higher amount of fibers.
