Creamy Polenta – HmF – Virtual
Servings
2Serving size
1/2 cupDon’t be swayed by the higher cost items labeled “polenta.” Polenta can be made with any type of cornmeal.
Ingredients
| 1 cup Water |
| 1/4 cup Yellow cornmeal (coarse ground preferred) |
| 1/8 tsp. Salt |
| 1 to taste Black pepper |
| 1 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese (grated) |
Instructions
In a medium sized pot, bring water to a simmer. Using a whisk, stir in the cornmeal and salt and whisk until smooth.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until soft, about 30-40 minutes, adding more water as necessary to prevent grits from getting too thick and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Once creamy and soft, remove the pot from the heat and fold in the cheese and black pepper. Serve warm. If not serving immediately, you may need to add more liquid as polenta will continue to thicken as it sits.
