Grilled Polenta

Cultural Context

Polenta, a staple of Northern Italian cuisine, has been enjoyed for centuries as a hearty and versatile dish. Traditionally made from cornmeal, it can be served creamy or allowed to set and then grilled or fried. Grilled polenta is particularly popular during summer, often served alongside grilled meats or vegetables. Its adaptability has led to its global popularity, with variations found in many cultures.
