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:
