Steps:
- On a lightly oiled baking sheet spread warm polenta about 3/4 thick and cool to room temperature. Polenta may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
- In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and brown sausage. Add water and cook sausage, covered, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook mixture until any remaining water is evaporated. Transfer sausage with tongs to a bowl and reserve fat remaining in skillet. Cool sausage slightly and slice diagonally.
- Cut polenta into 1 1/2-inch diamond shapes or squares. In skillet sauté polenta in 2 batches in reserved fat over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, adding additional oil to skillet if necessary, until golden on both sides. Transfer polenta as cooked with a slotted spoon to bowl with sausage and cover.
- In skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté broccoli rabe with salt to taste, stirring, until just wilted. Add garlic paste and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer, stirring, until tomato paste is incorporated and sauce is slightly thickened. Add sausage and polenta and cook until heated through.
- Serve polenta sprinkled with Parmesan.
- To make basic polenta:
- In a heavy saucepan bring water and salt to a boil and gradually whisk in cornmeal in a thin stream. Cook polenta over moderately low heat (it should be barely boiling), stirring constantly, until very thick and pulls away from side of pan, about 40 minutes for cornmeal and about 15 minutes for instant polenta. Remove pan from heat and cover to keep warm. Stir polenta just before using. Polenta will keep warm, covered, about 20 minutes. Makes about 3 cups.
- Note: In the traditional method of cooking polenta, forty minutes of constant stirring is required to achieve a lumpless texture and fragrant flavor. However, Italian-food expert Marcella Hazan has developed a method that involves very little stirring during this time. We believe it produces a very good polenta, one nearly as flavorful and smooth as the traditional procedure. To make satisfactory polenta in a real hurry, an imported instant polenta (precooked cornmeal) is available. This cooks in a mere fifteen minutes.
ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS OVER POLENTA
Steps:
- In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and brown well. Remove and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the peppers and onions. Sauté, stirring often, until very tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan and stir in the remaining olive oil and the oregano. Reduce heat to very low, cover and set aside while you make the polenta. To make the polenta, bring water to a boil in a teakettle. Turn off heat. Bring broth to boil in a large, heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the salt and olive oil. Add the polenta very, very gradually, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Take your time. Once all the polenta is added let it cook over very low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. If the polenta becomes to thick to stir, pour in some hot water and blend it in. The polenta is done when it is smooth, shiny and tender. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter and Parmesan. Divide polenta among 4 bowls. Spoon sausage, peppers and onions over the polenta and serve. Pass extra Parmesan for sprinkling.
