Polenta with Sausage and Orange is delicious, we go crazy for it at home. And today, considering the still low temperatures, I decided to prepare it.
You might be wondering what orange has to do with it, and I thought the same thing when I first ate it at my mother-in-law’s house.
But at the first bite, I had the answer, delicious!!
Since that day, at my house, there is no polenta without orange zest. Try it, and I’m sure it will win you over too.
I also leave you the recipe for Porcini and Sausage Risotto and Pumpkin, Sausage, and Gorgonzola Pasta if you are a sausage lover like me.

Let’s start by making the sauce by browning the chopped onion with garlic and spices in extra virgin olive oil.
When well browned, add the sausage cut into small pieces and brown it well.
Deglaze with the wine and add salt. Add the tomato pulp and cook for a good half hour. After the sauce is ready, take some out and set it aside, and add the water to the sauce.
Bring to a boil and sprinkle in the corn flour, always stirring with a whisk, add the orange zest.
