Polenta is made of stone-ground dried yellow corn kernels that have a flaky texture. Polenta is similar to southern grits in both taste and preparation but there is one key difference. The kernels used for polenta come from flint corn, which is a hearty variety of corn originally found in Italy.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have polenta using 3 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

Giada De Laurentiis explains how polenta, which is made of cornmeal, is Italy's version of mashed potatoes. To cook polenta, Giada starts with a pot of boiling water, which she seasons with salt. Polenta (/ p ə ˈ l ɛ n t ə, p oʊ ˈ-/, Italian: ) is a dish of boiled cornmeal that was historically made from other grains. It may be served as a hot porridge, or it may be allowed to cool and solidify into a loaf that can be baked, fried, or grilled.
Steps to make Polenta:
- I bought mine in Italy but they sell them in lost places. Add the water into a big pot with the salt. If you have a cast iron or a copper pot it’s even better.
- When it’s hot but not quite boiling yet start adding the polenta slowly and keeping on mixing it with a whisk. It’s essential to use a whisk either manual or electric as otherwise it will get lumpy.
- When you are done adding the polenta cover it and leave it on a small very low fire for 40 min mixing only every now and then (day every 10 min or so). Polenta will stick to the pot so don’t worry about that, in fact that crusty burnt bit is the best part.
- After the 40 minutes comes the manual bit, we now need to keep on stirring for the last 10 min. Polenta would have got much more dense so it’a a bit of gym now. Serve hot
