500g yellow corn meal,
1 1/2 liter water,
1 teaspoon salt
Boil the water in a pot. When the water is simmering add salt and a bit of corn meal. When it boils fully pour more and more of the corn meal, sprinkling little by little, all around the pot, while continuously stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon. When the mix becomes thick enough stop adding corn meal. Take into account that it will become quite a lot thicker when boiling, and that it shouldn’t be too thick in the end so we can still mix it easily with cheese. Keep stirring the pot, pressing the spoon against the side of the pot. You’ll know when the polenta is boiled enough by tasting a bit. It should taste like cooked (boiled) corn, rather than the raw corn meal.
Enjoy!
