Our polenta is made from a unique open-pollinated red flint variety, for which we have hand selected seed over several years. We love this variety for its noticeable sweetness sweetness, and deep ruby and gold colors.
Our finely ground polenta makes delicious, smooth porridge.
Our coarse polenta is great to make chunky grits, or to use as a soaker in breads. Cooking time can be greatly reduced by soaking in hot water overnight.
Cooking Instructions: In a heavy-bottomed pot, whisk together 2 cups of polenta, 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 8 cups boiling water (or combination of water and milk, or stock) over medium-high heat. Continue whisking as mixture comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Turn heat to low and switch from a whisk to a wooden spoon. Stir every 10 minutes or so, for about 40 minutes, adding a splash of water as necessary to keep polenta from thickening too much. If you find the polenta is sticking to the bottom of the pan, remove from the burner and let sit a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan, stirring to incorporate, and return to heat. It may take as much as 2 cups more liquid to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Stir in a few tablespoons of butter if using, taste polenta for salt and add pepper to taste. Stir well, cover and keep warm for up to 30 minutes.
Grain type: Open Pollinated Red Flint Corn (processed in a facility that handles wheat) grown on our farm in Ridgeway, WI
