Parmesan Polenta

By Loni

I usually top this polenta with some type of a ragout and it is very nice and savory. You can add any other spices to the polenta, like rosemary or thyme for some extra heartiness.

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat a medium sauce pot over medium/high heat; add in milk, water, and broth ‐ bring to a simmer.
2. Reduce heat to medium low, sprinkle in cornmeal, and whisk to avoid clumping. Stir often with a wooden spoon for about 20 minutes or until texture is smooth and grains are not noticeable to the palate.
3. Stir in cheese, salt and pepper; serve warm.

If polenta becomes too thick, water can be added a little at a time to
thin out or for reheating
