Polenta Is A Word Used In Italy And Latin America To Mean A Form Of Ground Corn As Well As A Cooked Dish Made From The Ground Corn. Traditional Polenta Is Made By Adding Dry Polenta To Simmering Liquid, Usually In The Ratio Of 3 Parts Liquid To 1 Part Polenta And Stirring On The Heat Until The Polenta Reaches A Consistency Like Thick Porridge. A Variety Of Liquids Work Equally Well As A Base, Including Water, Chicken Broth, Milk, Beef Broth And Vegetable Broth. Polenta Makes An Excellent Main Meal Or Side Dish.
