Creamy Polenta
Contributed by: Melinda
I love polenta any way, but this is truly my favorite. This can be topped with anything you like, or just served plain.
1 cup polenta or fine corn meal
4-5 cups broth or water
1 cup milk or cream (optional)
Butter
Salt and Pepper
Parmesan Cheese
- Traditionally, polenta is cooked by bringing cooking liquid to a boil and allowing a fine stream of the corn meal to run through your fist into the liquid
while you constantly whisk to avoid lumps. This method works very well.
- Alternatively, you can combine the polenta with the cooking liquid and bring all together to a boil. I don't think the result is quite the same, but it's pretty
easy.
- Cook the polenta from boiling for about 10 minutes, until tender and creamy. You can add milk or cream at this point if using it.
- Add butter, salt & pepper to taste
- Blend in Parmesan cheese
- Serve plain or topped with one of the following:
Chopped Tomatoes, Basil and Garlic
Sauteed Mushrooms
Sauteed Organic Baby Spinach
Leftover beef pot roast, braised lamb shanks or sauté italian sausage
