Veneto-style polenta and beans is a dish that was prepared by farmers when there was little to put on the table, but it was still a nutritious and complete dish. Here in Veneto, borlotti beans are used, while in other parts of Italy, cannellini beans are used. Polenta with beans is also prepared in Tuscany, or there are recipes for polenta and beans Emilia-style, Abruzzo-style—in short, every area has its typical recipe with the possible addition of other humble ingredients like sausage, pork rind, bacon, or mushrooms. Each region has its traditional recipe. The traditional polenta with beans recipe involves using dried beans soaked for at least 12 hours. If you're in a hurry, you can also use jarred beans, already cooked and ready to use. I recommend also checking out [APPETIZERS WITH POLENTA](https://blog.giallozafferano.it/cucinoperpassione/antipasti-con-polenta/), where I'm sure you'll find other recipes to try.
