Creamy Polenta Recipe

Method

1. 1

   In a large pot bring the water and salt to a boil. Once boiling slowly add the polenta, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

2. 2

   Lower the heat and bring the polenta to a low simmer {you want it bubbling but not boiling}.

3. 3

   Add the butter and continue to whisk until it starts to thicken.

4. 4

   Cover the pot and let the polenta simmer for about 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally so the polenta isn't sticking to the pot.

5. 5

   The polenta is done when it is tender and soft and thickens up. You will want to continue to cook it until it reaches this consistency.

6. 6

   Stir in the Parmesan cheese, taste and add salt as needed.

7. 7

   Serve alongside an Italian meal, add slow roasted vegetables or meat.
