Polenta

To prepare the polenta, put a pot on the stove with about 2 quarts of salted water and bring to a boil.

Add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and slowly add 1/2 kg of yellow maize flour to avoid lumps; mix well with a wooden spoon or with a whisk.

Stir well from the bottom up; if you see the polenta starts to get too hard soften it with a ladle of hot water.

Continue stirring regularly for about 40 minutes, until it begins to peel away from the edge of the pot. When cooked, pour the polenta on the traditional wooden cutting board and serve hot.

If you want to make it even more delicious sautéed mushrooms and parsley mixed with olive oil and place them on top of the polenta. With a glass of red wine dish is served!
