Polenta is a classic Italian golden-yellow cornmeal made from ground maize. It's also the name given to the cornmeal porridge made from polenta.

Polenta is the traditional staple of northern Italy nd is made by simply mixing the cornmeal with water and simmering and stirring until it thickens. It can be served hot - known as wet polenta - or left to cool and set in a dish and then cut into squares or slices which are fried or grilled to give a light crust.
