  • Bring the water with the salt to the boil and slowly pour in the polenta semolina.
  • If you only stir in one direction you won't get any lumps.

  • Add 125 milliliters of water to the meat in the last hour.

  • Finally, fry / heat the polenta diamonds in butter with herb salt until golden brown / golden green.
