Part 5/7:
While the cacciatore simmers, attention turns to perfecting the polenta. As it thickens like custard, quality ingredients come into play with aged parmesan and butter, which both enhance its creaminess and flavor. Finishing touches of fresh herbs and a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil result in a polished dish ready to impress.
The Broccolini: A Bright Companion
Alongside the main event, a quick and simple preparation of broccolini adds crunch and color to the plate. Seasoning with olive oil and chili flakes and grilling it gives this otherwise humble vegetable a vibrant personality of its own. Its bite complements the rich flavors of the cacciatore beautifully.
