This classic basic polenta is a versatile Italian staple that brings a comforting, golden touch to any meal. Made with just three simple ingredients, including coarse cornmeal and water, the secret lies in the slow-cooking process which transforms the grains into a velvety, smooth texture. It is a wonderful alternative to mashed potatoes or rice, offering a delicate corn flavour that pairs beautifully with a variety of savoury toppings.
As a naturally vegan dish, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a gluten-free accompaniment to roasted vegetables, rich tomato ragouts, or grilled mushrooms. Whether served soft and creamy straight from the pan or allowed to set and then lightly fried until crisp, it provides a nutritious and filling base for a wholesome midweek dinner.
