TRS Coarse Cornmeal 1.5kg

TRS Coarse Cornmeal is yellow maize ground to a gritty, sandy texture, the grade sold in Italy as polenta and across Africa and the Caribbean as the base for pap, sadza and cornmeal porridge. The coarse grind keeps a little bite when cooked and gives a crumbly, open texture to baking.

How to use it

For polenta or pap, bring four parts salted water to the boil, pour in one part cornmeal in a thin stream while whisking, then lower the heat and stir often for 30 to 40 minutes until thick and no longer grainy. Finish with butter and cheese, or serve plain with stew. Spread leftover polenta on a tray, cool, slice and fry until crisp. For cornbread, mix equal parts cornmeal and plain flour with baking powder, egg, milk and melted butter, and bake in a hot tin for about 25 minutes. Cornmeal also makes a crunchy coating for fried fish.
