Polenta Recipe: How to Prepare Classic Polenta and Polenta Concia with èViva Corn Flour
Introduction to the Polenta Recipe
Polenta is a traditional dish that embodies all the flavor and tradition of Italian cuisine. With our Polenta Recipe, using èViva corn flour with corn germ, you will get a polenta with an authentic taste and perfect consistency. Let’s discover together how to prepare it!
èViva: The Secret Ingredient for the Perfect Polenta Recipe
èViva Corn Flour with corn germ stands out for its fine grain, similar to “fioretto”. This makes it ideal for obtaining a soft-looking polenta, the famous “POLENTA ALL’ONDA”. This type of polenta, a result of our Polenta Recipe, is perfect to be paired with rich ingredients such as cheese, butter, red or white meats, and even fish, especially freshwater fish like pike. Don’t forget to try it also with cod or with the delicious blue beans from our Agriturismo.
Ingredients for the Classic Polenta Recipe (serves 4)
- 400g èViva Corn Flour with corn germ
- 1200 ml of water (proportions 1 flour to 3 water)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Peranzana mono-varietal (OLIO PIANO)
- Salt to taste
Polenta Recipe Procedure
- Initial Preparation: In a copper pot, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt and a generous spoonful of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Peranzana mono-varietal (OLIO PIANO).
- Adding the Flour: As soon as the water begins to boil, add the corn flour gradually, stirring vigorously with a whisk during the first minutes of cooking.
- Cooking: Reduce the flame and continue cooking, stirring constantly and always in the same direction, with the appropriate juniper or hazel wood stick. If you don’t have these tools, a long-handled wooden spoon will do.
- Cooking Time: The polenta takes about 25-30 minutes with èViva Corn Flour with corn germ. Once ready, serve it with sausage, pork ribs, beef stew, or with Mottera blue beans.
Polenta Concia: A Rich Variant of Our Polenta Recipe
For an even tastier polenta, follow our Polenta Concia variant. About 7/8 minutes before the end of cooking, add 250g of butter and 750g of toma cheese from the Lanzo Valleys. Continue cooking until the butter and cheese are completely melted. Finish with a sprinkle of Grana Padano cheese and pepper to taste.
