Polenta Duca!

  1. This is odd isn't it? I like fried mush, but it isn't sweet. I suppose this would taste somewhat similar.

  2. Almond? Vanilla? Cream of wheat? YUM. It does seem like a lot of sugar, since almond and vanilla also add sweetness. Served with summer fruits, or compote in winter, this would be a nice dessert or breakfast. I bet it would also be good with Cream of Rice.

  3. My great aunt would make this every year, and we would eat it like candy

  4. My husband's grandmother and aunt would make it but instead of frying it they would bake it in the oven. Anyone out there have any idea for how long and at what temperature? The grandmother and aunt are not with us anymore and how they did it is lost. Hope someone out there can help. Thank you, Denise

  5. My Polenta Duca is also made with cream of wheat. My Mother-in-law always added zest of an lemon, and the juice of a lemon. If small lemons, then use the juice and zest of 2 lemons. Add 2 egg yolks just before it is done. Want it to be thick. Pour into a pyrex dish, let it cool, then cut and fry in oil. Coat polenta with beaten egg whites( just wisk a little) and roll in bread crumbs. I melt a little lemon curd and pour on top for extra lemon flavor..yum yum...a holiday favorite.
