Creamy Polenta

Comforting like a big warm hug, Polenta is one of my favourite winter foods. This traditional Polenta is made of air dried corn and stone ground. I love 'Bramata' which is the coarse ground. It does take a little while to cook but produces the creamiest Polenta you can imagine.
When dairy isn't always an option for us at home, love using cashews and water , blitzed into a "milk" and the flavour is sensational.
