👨🍳 Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot, then add salt.
- Gradually whisk in the cornmeal in a steady stream to prevent lumps, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for 25-30 minutes until the polenta is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pot.
- Serve immediately as a side dish or base for other toppings, optionally with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs.
