What is polenta?

Polenta is made from ground cornmeal and is a traditional dish in Italian cuisine. It can be served soft and creamy or allowed to set and then sliced for grilling or frying. When you grill polenta, it develops a beautiful golden crust while remaining soft and tender inside, offering a delightful contrast in texture.
