Cooking Time
15-20 minutes
Yields
6
Ingredients
- 250 g corn flour;
- 1250 ml water (depends on how finely the corn is ground);
- 3-4 tbsp. olive oil;
- 1 tsp paprika;
- salt to taste
Directions
- Pour cold water into a pot with the flour and salt;
- Bring to boil and then reduce to medium while whisking occasionally;
- When it starts thickening, reduce to low and stir intensely so it won't stick to the sides and bottom;
- If the textureisn't to your liking add more water (up to 250 ml) and continue cooking;
- Just before removing from the heat, add olive oil;
- Serve warm to hot and sprinkle with red pepper.
Notes
Alternatively:
- Use as a side dish for vegetables or lamb. In the Rhodopes they serve with cheese;
- Replace ¼ of the water with milk if desired so;
- Add 150 g of grated parmesan for a smoother texture;
- Pour the cooked polenta into a silicone mold and cool. Slice, grill, or fry the slices as desired.
