Congrats on goal weight. This is how my mom does it!

BASIC POLENTA

(Makes about 4 cups)

7 cups water
1 TB. salt
1-2/3 cups coarse-grained Italian yellow cornmeal

To Learn more about Polenta

An 8-10 cup bowl, preferably stainless steel or copper


Bring the water to a boil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Add the salt.
Add the cornmeal in a very thin stream. You should be able to see the individual grains spilling into the pot.

As you are adding the cornmeal, stir it with a whisk, and make sure the water is always boiling.

When you have added all the cornmeal, begin to stir it with a wooden spoon.

Stir continuously, bringing the mixture up from the bottom of the pot and loosening it from the sides.

The cornmeal becomes polenta in 35-45 minutes, when it forms a mass that pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pot.

Moisten the inside of the bowl with cold water.

Turn the polenta out of the pot into the bowl.

After 5 to 10 minutes, turn the bowl over onto a wooden board or large platter.

If serving it soft and hot, serve it at once.

If you are going to allow the polenta to become completely cool and firm and later slice it, do not put the hot polenta into a bowl, but spread it flat on a board or baking sheet to a thickness of about 3 inches.

If you are planning to slice polenta and grill, bake, or fry it, you must make it several hours in advance.

It will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Keep it whole and wrap it with foil or plastic wrap.

I like polenta a lot. I boil water, put some salt and add polenta and stir quickly with a wooden spoon. I add polenta until I like how it looks (not so fluid). I eat it hot with feta cheese and sahnecream.

Eva37

thanks for your reply, i looove feta cheese

I remember my grandmother making it for breakfast when I was a kid...
I think she used milk and cooked it like porridge over the stove.
