Side Dish
Italian

Polenta is a traditional Italian dish made from coarsely ground yellow cornmeal. Its origins date back to Roman times, where it was a staple food for the lower classes. Today, polenta is enjoyed throughout Italy, especially in the northern regions such as Lombardy, Veneto, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized polenta in the United States, incorporating it into their modern Italian cuisine. The best polenta is often found in rustic Italian trattorias, where it is slowly cooked to creamy perfection. The key to a great polenta lies in using high-quality cornmeal and giving it enough time to cook properly. Some alternative methods for making polenta include grilling or frying it after it has set, creating a delicious crispy exterior.
