Polenta can be made from several grains. Before the European import of corn, semomina was used. Nowadays quinoa, teff, or farro would work.

Or eaten hot with a spaghetti sauce over it. Or a stew. Or what is commonly called stufatto.

It USE TO Be Made Of Wheat Since Ancient Roman Times, (But Caesar's Legions Would Grind Any Grain They Could Find In Their Portable "Querns," Or Hand-Cranked Grindstone Mills,) LONG Before America, -And Corn, -Was Discovered, So Historically The Answer Would Be Wrong!

I had it at a restaurant in a town outside of Rome, where it was first introduced years ago. Wonderful!

Deborah Weston, No ... my grandfather who was born in northern Italy made it from corn meal. If he was still alive he would smack you on your head with a wooden spoon
