XVI - Polenta

PLAIN POLENTA

To 1 quart of boiling water add 1 teaspoon salt, then sprinkle in approximately 1 cup yellow cornmeal so slowly that it does not lump, stirring constantly. Continue to stir until it thickens and finish cooking over reduced heat, stirring often; or set in a double boiler. Cornmeal develops its best flavor thus, by being dropped directly into boiling water. If mixed with a little cold water first, as given in many recipes, just to save the trouble of stirring out any possible lumps, neither the texture nor the taste is as good.

So far, this is the same mush that we usually eat as a breakfast cereal, with milk and sugar. Of course we also let it cool, slice and fry it, and serve it with syrup or gravy. But we seldom mix anything piquant with it, while the French, Spaniards and other Europeans, fix cornmeal mush in a number of delicious ways and eat it almost as commonly as the Italians, who call it Polenta, and with whom it is often the main dish of the evening meal.
