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
