How good is polenta? I love it!
Trust me: ther’s no season for eating it: I realli like it whether it’s snowing outside, or whether under the mid-August sun.
This version is that of “polenta carbonera”, the most traditional cornmeal mush version in my corner of Trentino.
Full of taste (and cholesterol too), it combines the classic corn flour with cheeses, in particular “Spressa dop” and “Vezzena”, as well as butter androasted fresh sausages.
If you are already watering, I recommend: give in, give in now! and try this recipe that I have created especially for the most modern kitchens: in fact you don’t need a stove or a cauldron to cook it!

INGREDIENTS:

½ glass red wine

Place the water in the cauldron (ora in a large pan) and wait until boils.

Let it cook for about 35 min. whisking with a wooden spoon or a whisk.

Add roasted sausages little by little to the corne meal pot.

A PIECE OF ADVICE: Usually cornmeal mush is prepared in cauldron and cooked on a woodstove, but if you don’t have it you can cook it in a large pan too.
