Polenta is a typical dish of Northern Italy and of ancient origins, highly appreciated in Tuscany. Thanks to the easy preparation and the possibility to combine with many flavors, Polenta can be used in many variations as appetizer, first dish whit many different sauces, and more... once cooked, it can be further fried for greater taste!

Method:

Place a thick-bottomed steel pot on the fire, pour the 2 liters of water. When the water is about to boil, add the salt, then pour the flour in rain, mixing with a spoonful of wood. Keep cooking at high temperature, stirring quickly.

Add also the olive oil that will be used to avoid the formation of lumps. Continue stirring waiting for the boil to resume, then lower the heat to the minimum and continue cooking for about 10 minutes on low heat, stirring constantly, taking care not to stick it to the bottom.

After about 10 minutes your polenta is ready!
