Master the Art of Authentic Polenta

Searching for a hearty, gluten-free base for your meals? Spice n Easy's Coarse Polenta is your answer. This isn't the fine, instant variety; it's the real deal—coarse-ground cornmeal that requires slow simmering, rewarding you with a depth of flavour and a creamy yet textured consistency that instant versions can't match.

Why Choose Coarse Ground Polenta?
The coarse grind is essential for authentic polenta. It releases its starch slowly during cooking, creating a luxuriously creamy texture while still maintaining a slight, pleasant granularity. This makes it far superior to finely ground cornmeal, which can become gluey.

How to Use Coarse Polenta in Your Kitchen:

• Creamy Italian-Style Polenta: The classic method. Simmer slowly with water, stock, and milk, then stir in butter and Parmesan cheese for a decadent side dish.

• Grilled or Pan-Fried Polenta: Pour cooked polenta into a tray to set, then cut into slices or wedges. Grill or pan-fry until golden and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

• A Stunning Main Course: Serve soft polenta as a bed for rich, saucy dishes like beef ragu, braised short ribs, or mushroom stew.

• Polenta "Chips" or Fries: Cut set polenta into sticks, bake or air-fry until crispy, and serve with a dipping sauce.

• A Hearty Breakfast: Cook polenta with milk and a touch of maple syrup or honey for a warming alternative to porridge.
