Just figuring out what to buy can be a minefield of potential pitfalls. Will instant polenta work? Is cornmeal the same thing as polenta? Fine or coarse? What about grits? Don't even get me started on the best way to cook it...In this video, Eva explains what polenta is (it's not what I thought), which kinds to buy (and which to avoid), how to properly cook it, and give some "advanced" recipes from all over Italy.
