Recipe - Polenta A La Bruno

1 kg Corn meal; ground fine
1 tablespoon Salt
3 l Water

In a large pot, bring the water to an almostboil. Bruno said his
grandmother taught him the secret of a great polenta is to not let the
water come to a full boil. Slowly, pianopiano, add the corn meal as you
stir the water. Bruno said to add the corn meal to the water 'as a light
rain'. A round wooden stick is used to stir the polenta as it cooks (it
looked like a minature baseball bat). The polenta is now stired constantly
until finished.

Continue to add the corn meal over a 1525 minute period and then continue
to cook and stir but do not let the polenta boil.

Cook a total of about 40 minutes until the polenta on the upper inner
surface of the pot begins to turn a golden color.

Bruno served the polenta hot, by scooping it onto a plate. He added a layer
of freshlygrated Parmesan, perferable Pecorino cheese, and then a big
scoop of his famous Ragu sauce.

Alternatly, turn the polenta out onto a board and with the stick make it
about One half inch thick. Allow to cool and then cut into squares for warming
later. Cook in skillet in a little olive oil. Serve with Ragu sauce over
the fried polenta.
