Polenta
Polenta IG: @mangia.con.elena Pinterest: mangia con elena I adore polenta. Growing up my mother would make it often for Sunday dinners. I love its thick, creamy and flavourful texture. In our region it is served with a rich and meaty meat sauce loaded with sausages and shredded short rib meat that has been simmering all day long. Eaten with rapini and a dollop of ricotta cheese on top. What a combination! Be sure to get a little bit of everything in each bite and savour that taste sensation! My mother would pour the polenta on a large wooden board the size of our kitchen table that my dad had made for her when they were first married. She would smooth it out before it cooled and then put little dips into it with the back of her spoon for holding the sauce. The sauce would be poured on and the rapini and the sausages placed in the middle. We would then take a bit of ricotta and place in front of us and we began to dig in. We each had our own section and together we made the map of It
