Lidia's Italian Table

Many uses of Polenta (1x2)

Air date: Jul 11, 1998

Lidia grew up playing hide-and-seek in the corn fields surrounding her home in Pula, Istria. Making polenta at her mother’s knee was almost a daily activity. Lidia teaches how to make the best basic polenta, country style. She then demonstrates a family favorite -- sauteed polenta with field mushrooms -- and follows it with the perfect dessert: polenta with honey and fresh strawberries.
