Ingredients

• 6 cups Water
• 1 tsp Sea Salt
• 2 cups Corn Grits-Polenta
• 3 Tb Butter
• 1/2 cup cheese (Parmesan, Romano, Fontina or Monterey Jack), grated

Preparation

Step 1

In a large, deep pan over high heat bring water and sea salt to a boil; gradually stir in polenta. Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking until mixture is very thick (about 30 minutes); use a long-handled spoon because mixture pops and bubbles and can burn.

Stir in butter, and cheese. Serve immediately.
