The Best Homemade Cornmeal Mush I have tried. Ingredients:
6 cups water |
1 tsp. salt |
2 cups polenta (cornmeal) |
3 t. margarine or butter |
optional |
grated cheese |
tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Pour the cornmeal and 2 cups of water into a large bowl. Whisk it so there are no lumps. Set aside.
2. Next, pour the remaining 4 cups of water and the salt into a pot, and bring to a boil.
3. Now, gradually stir iin the polenta and cold water mixture.
4. Let the polenta and water simmer gently.
5. Stir frequently, so there is no sticking.
6. It will take about 30 minutes until it is thick.
7. Butter a bowl for the polenta to cool in. The polenta will take the shape of the bowl after sitting for about 10 minutes.
8. Once it is set, invert the polenta onto a flat plate. You can cut thick slices.
9. You can dredge in flour and fry and then serve them with syrup or jellies.
10. You can also put your favorite spaghetti sauce and grated cheese on the top while hot.
11. If you like mush you will know how you like to eat it.
