    I love polenta, I was surprised to find out that a lot of people don't know what polenta is. I love it fried with onions, and beef.

  5. Rose Bolanos

    My mother always made polenta for me as a child. However, she would serve it creamy and with a sunny side egg on top. One of my favorite lunches growing up.

  7. Silvia

    Only just found this channel. Loving your content. New subscriber from Australia

    My sister in law also taught me this way but rather than pan frying it/ grilling it she would slice it and leave it out for an hour or so to just dry the outside alittle and then she would put it into the oven to crisp up alittle. Then she would top it with any type of sauce. Sometime tomato or even the juices from roasting a protein in the oven. It was absolutely delicious. Crispy on the outside but somewhat soft in the middle.

    I love fried or grilled polenta, Mary! I like to pair it with halloumi as a snack dish when grilling. Both are so great to serve warm, while waiting on the meats to cook. Thanks for giving me another idea for this weekend's plans. 🙏🙏❤❤🙏🙏
    Take care and stay safe,

    Rob

    Hello,Mary! What a surprise for me to know that your mother is italian! I belive, I did write to you that I am not german but italian and I was born in North Italy. My mother cooked polenta only in winter together with meat. Unfortunatly I never learned how to cook it. Now I am glad this hear from you. I will do polenta in next winter. Thank you very much for this video with this recipe, which I really did not know. Until the next time, many greetings from Germany from your fan Rosalia Keller.

    My father always raved about his mother’s rabbit and polenta. He said no one ever made it as good as her. I never tried it. This recipe has piqued my interest now. I need to find out what dad was talking about all those years ago.

    Such a new and interesting recipe !! 😍👍🏻 Mom's recipes are just like a treasure we have with us .. the happiness on your face while telling about the dish and how you learnt it from your mom, is something I can totally connect with ☺️
    Much love..always be happy🤗❤️

  17. Marianne Vigeland

    Mary, Appreciate your work. This Italian recipe has me wondering: can we make garlic vinegar using the water- sugar recipes you have offered for strawberry scraps, pine needles and orange peels? every blessing, Marianne

  18. bonnie musselman

    I love polenta too. I also grew up with it. My grandma and mom were wonderful cooks. I’m just wondering why you qualified polenta as being a “northern” Italian dish. It isn’t.

  19. Ann Curran

    Wonderful video. Next time I will be adding the oil. I make mine in the Instant Pot and avoid the stirring.

  20. Shelia Reyling

    My family used to make it and eat it like cream of wheat. We called it corn meal mush. Put butter and milk in it in a bowl. The left over Mom would chill it in a pie pan. Give us a slice put pancake syrup on it. YUM!

  21. Lynda Buchholz

    Mom used to cook cornmeal and form it in a loaf pan and refrigerate it overnight, then she fried slices of it for breakfast with syrup and I loved it.

  25. ThickemsUP

    I like to crisp up cheesy polenta in a pan and dip into pizza sauce, as a snack.
    Please teach us about something called bread cheese : )

  29. Joy Louise

    This brings back such memories. My mother made it the night before and next day she fried it up in a skillet for breakfast. Butter and syrup on top—eat it up while still warm. Crunchy on outside, soft and yummy on inside. I love polenta (in the Midwest we called it fried corn meal mush) but I don’t care for grits at all. Must be a textural thing.

  30. Jean Woodall

    Looks delicious. I don't think I've ever had it. I grew up mostly eating Filipino food and a little Korean food. We're doing well here. My ereader stopped loading new books so I reset it and started adding back the books I hadn't read yet as some on the cloud I already read. It went well at first but then the books stopped being able to select them to download so I restarted it. Now the application won't start. When that happened deregistering it got it working again but this time that didn't happen. I guess I'm due for an updated one as some of the leds in it broke during accidental drops which left dark spots on the screen. I plan to get a new one in September of I can swing it along with my dream bag in navy. My birthday is late that month so I may get extra money to buy both them. If not I'll get it when I can. I have other hobbies to do until then. In August I plan to get my dream bag in olive (blue and green is my favorite color combination but the bag doesn't come in that doorway so I'll get one of each) and Lauren Brook's Shut Up and Train DVD. She's out of stock of it and decided to stop offering DVD's since most people stream these days but found some copies on an exercise video website. Want to get it before it's too late.

    I love polenta, although I have never had it this way. Once I was experimenting around and made the soft version with butter, coconut milk and sugar, it was to die for! But an off topic question which I’ve had in the back of my mind since I started watching your channel…. I have to know why you have two coffee makers almost the same size?

  33. Odete Martins

    Thank you Mary it’s special🙏virus is very bad in South Africa specially in Johannesburg were we stay b please say a prayer for our country 🙏the world🙏keep on sending amazing recipes 🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

  35. Laurel Thomas

    Wow, I'd never heard of polenta, but I have eaten a lot of Midwestern Corn Mush! The recipe is almost identical but we used bacon fat drippings instead of olive oil, and maybe a pinch of sage seasoning along with the salt. But we would chill it in a loaf pan at least overnight and slice it as thin as regular sliced bread before pan frying it. The big difference is that it was used as a breakfast/brunch food served with fried or scrambled eggs—in place of toast. If it was a holiday, we might drizzle the mush with maple syrup. I cannot imagine serving mush with tomato sauce, but hey, some people like ketchup with their eggs, so maybe they'd go for it.

  36. Debs Dayze

    Mary sorry this is totally off topic. I recently made a beautiful fish Stock. I had so much I decided to Pressure can it. Going into the jars it had that great gelatin look. Now that it's been pressure canned for 90 minutes it's just liquid and it got darker, is that normal?

  37. Jana Singer

    My mom used to make turkey mush. I wonder if it was polenta? She would boil the leftover turkey bones to make a meaty broth. Then add corn meal?, I'm not sure, and cook it a bit. Then on to chill and grill in bacon grease. I loved it and you have reminded me of it. I'm vegetarian now, but I will try YOUR way. Thank you! Yum!

    do you have a butter bean recipe to share ? — the only butter beans i am successful are the Jolly Green Giant from the freezer dept —thank you

  40. Bonnie Rosendale

    I grew up in the central Midwest, Illinois, and we used to cook cornmeal up with just water or milk and butter, put it in a loaf pan, and let it chill overnight. Then in the morning, we fried it in a skillet with a little bacon fat, dressed it with butter and maple syrup and had a wonderful breakfast. I haven't made fried cornmeal mush in years! This video made me hungry for some. Thanks, Mary! I will have to try it with tomato and basil.

  41. edhunley

    I think this would be very good cut into a larger square and served with a poached egg on top. I'll have to try it.

  44. Rebecca Cory

    My mom made it more like pancake batter & it jelled over night, sliced it, fried it & put syrup on it.
