Great recipe. The amount of salt is perfect (and I'm pretty salt-sensitive, but if you plan to add cheese, you'd probably want to decrease the salt a bit. It was great as a soft polenta, and set up nicely to saute later. My only difference with this recipe is that my polenta didn't require anywhere near 15 minutes to cook; it was done within 5 minutes.

Halve the salt for sure. Good for setting up the polenta to be grilled later. If you want softer sort of breakfast, southern style grits then add a bit more water say 1/2 cup.

This is great. I fry some of it for fried mush. Alittle butter and pancake syrup and it is great. Then I eat some plain with my dinner.

This is the basic recipe I learned from an Italian cook in the 1970's. I was taught to lightly stir in cheese when finished cooking, such as a mixture of Monterey Jack and Parmessan. You then top it with a red sauce. It is a wonderful base recipe and a compliment to chicken and pork.

I've been working with a recipe from the producer (Bob's Red Mill, which results in a very stiff porridge that lends itself well to frying. This recipe is wonderfully creamy and smooth and also took a lot less time. Bravo.

Really good and very easy. Much cheaper than buying ready made. This recipe makes a lot of polenta. I ended up with leftovers the size of a polenta roll I would buy in the store.

I have been eating polenta since I was a child. We make a beef and wine mixture and pour this over the polenta...another one is chicken sauteed in butter with rosemary and spoon over the polenta...and the traditional sauce...with chicken sometimes and veggies...all are delicious. The next day we fry it with either eggs (scrambled are our favorite or with honey or maple syrup...great for breakfast....my kids (now grown love polenta!!

I needed a roll of polenta for a recipe I was making but couldnt find it anywhere. I found a bag of polenta in the baking aisle and thought I would try it. I put off making the recipe because the directions on the back of the bag were very time consuming. I remembered seeing a show where Giada made polenta and rolled it. When I got online to find the recipe, I ran across this one. The directions were simple and easy to follow. My polenta turned out perfectly. It was my first time making it and it couldnt have been easier. My husband loved it so I am sure to be making it again and again.
