CHESTNUT POLENTA WITH PANCETTA, BALSAMIC VINEGAR, AND RICOTTA: PATTONA

Chestnut Polenta with Pancetta, Balsamic Vinegar, and Ricotta: Pattona image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h25m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 gallon plus 1 cup (4 liters) mineral water
Salt
35 ounces (1 kilogram) chestnut flour, sifted
10 ounces pancetta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Ricotta Salata, sliced
Thyme, for garnish
Marjoram, for garnish

Steps:

Boil the water in a large saucepan and add salt. Once boiling, remove from the heat and pour into a copper pot. Add the flour and, with a wooden paddle, create a hole in the middle of the mixture so that the water begins to bubble over. Place on the stove and simmer slowly for 40 minutes.
Remove from the heat and beat vigorously with the paddle/wooden spoon until the polenta forms a smooth, firm consistency. Place the mixture on a wooden board, and shape into a large ball with your hands (cold water will help keep your hands cool). Allow to cool for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, cut the pancetta into small cubes and saute in a frying pan with the olive oil. Once the pancetta has turned a golden brown, splash the balsamic vinegar into the pan and allow the pancetta to caramelize with the sweet vinegar. It is now ready to serve with the polenta.
Assemble the dish onto a plate: a wedge of polenta, pancetta and a fresh slice of ricotta cheese. The flavors will balance each other perfectly and all you need is a generous drizzle of olive oil and thyme and marjoram to garnish.
