History of Polenta
In Italy, Polenta is a versatile alternative to pasta, bread or rice, and is especially suited for meat dishes that have plenty of sauce. In northern Italy, it's as popular as pasta is in the south.
Traditionally, the first cooking step required stirring for 40-45 minutes in a copper kettle over a hot fire. Pre-cooked Polenta eliminates this tedious chore, while preserving Polenta's ancient Italian heritage.

Think of polenta as an excellent alternative to pasta, rice, or potatoes. Since this polenta is already cooked, you simply need to heat it up to enjoy. Slice 1/2" thick rounds and microwave, saute, fry, bake, broil or grill. Top polenta with your favorite sauce, gravy, or cheese.
Substitute thin slices of polenta for pasta in your favorite lasagna recipe. Do the same with Southwestern ingredients (re-fried beans, green chili, and cheese) and create a tamale pie to remember. Try replacing polenta in a recipe that calls for tofu.
For soft polenta, heat desired amount in microwave, add small amount of liquid (water, milk, stock), and blend until you have the texture of mashed potatoes. Heat again and enjoy.
