\"Polenta<\/a>

Polenta with tomato sauce and sausage<\/p><\/div>\n

There are things that are fun to eat, and then there are fun ways to eat things.<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved going to Asian, Indian or even African restaurants where everything comes on platters to be shared, so you can taste many different menu items.<\/p>\n

Well there’s an old-fashioned way to eat Italian polenta (cornmeal cooked to a porridge-like consistency), that is just as fun.<\/p>\n

The directions for polenta are on the back of any package of cornmeal, but if you don’t buy instant, may I recommend several people with strong arms for the cooking, as there is a lot of stirring involved.<\/p>\n

Dinner is laid out on a big cutting board or piece of counter top and is dressed for the whole family with tomato sauce, hot and sweet sausages and pecorino (sheep’s milk) cheese.<\/p>\n

Everyone then carves out their own little section and eats it however they’d like. Add more cheese, mash it into a big mess, eat the crust first, whatever you like.<\/p>\n

There’s something really fun about eating together as a family from the same plate that feels, I don’t know, like it somehow brings you closer together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
