Polenta, maíz y más

Polenta has a long tradition in Ticino and has been a staple food for a significant part of the population for centuries. Today, a genuine Ticino polenta cooked on an outdoor fire or in a fireplace is no longer so very common. Fortunately, there are many grottoes and Ticino restaurants which propose this traditional dish every day to their customers, prepared on a crackling fire as tradition requires.
