Polenta

Cultural Context

Polenta has its roots in Northern Italy, where it was originally a staple for the peasant class. Made from ground corn, it was a filling and versatile dish that could be served in various forms—soft, baked, or fried. Traditionally, polenta was often accompanied by hearty sauces or stews, reflecting the agricultural lifestyle of the region. Today, polenta is celebrated worldwide, with numerous variations incorporating local ingredients and flavors, making it a beloved comfort food in many cultures.

1

Soffriggi lo scalogno: In un tegame, scalda l’olio EVO e soffriggi lo scalogno a fuoco medio fino a doratura.

2

Aggiungi il sugo e l’acqua: Versa il sugo nel tegame, seguito dall’acqua. Porta il tutto a bollore.

3

Prepara la polenta: Quando l’acqua bolle, aggiungi il sale e versa la polenta a pioggia, mescolando energicamente con una frusta a mano per evitare grumi. Continua a mescolare fino a quando la polenta si addensa (circa 7 minuti).

4

Lascia raffreddare: Versa la polenta su una spianatoia foderata con carta forno e lascia raffreddare completamente.

5

Taglia e assembla: Una volta raffreddata, taglia la polenta a quadretti. Disponi i quadretti in una terrina a strati, alternando con sugo, parmigiano grattugiato e mozzarella.

6

Inforna: Cuoci in forno preriscaldato a 180°C per 10 minuti, fino a quando la mozzarella si scioglie e forma una crosticina dorata.
