Cou Cou (Caribbean Polenta)
Ingredients:
cornmeal, degermed, unenriched, yellow
okra, raw
spices, pepper, black
butter, without salt
salt, table
water, bottled, generic
Directions:
Clean and wash okra.
Dice all but 6.
Add 3 cups of water to a large saucepan.
Add salt.
Add diced and whole okra.
Bring okra to boil for 5 minutes.
Remove pan from heat.
Save whole okra aside for garnish.
Measure 2 cups of liquid from the cooked okra to use for cooking your cou-cou.
Mix cornmeal in a large bowl with enough cold water to moisten and blend it together.
Stir the cornmeal slowly into the reserved liquid and okra.
Use a wooden spoon to mix together.
Return pot to stove over medium heat, and continue stirring okra and cornmeal.
Cook and stir about 15-20 minutes.
Insert wooden spoon into center of the cou-cou If spoon stands up in the pot and is easily removed from cornmeal, your cou-cou is done.
Cou-cou should be firm when it's done.
If the cou-cou is oose and creamy looking, you have used too much water.
If too much water is used, let cou-cou stand uncovered over low heat to "dry out."
When cou-cou is done, turn the entire mixture into a buttered serving bowl and garnish with whole okra.
