Ingredients
- 2 1/2cups water
- 2 1/2cups milk
- salt and pepper
- 1 1/4cups polenta
- 1/2cup grated parmesan
- 2tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Bring the water and the milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Add a generous pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the polenta in a steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. (I find a whisk doesn’t work well.) Reduce the heat and gently simmer, stirring from time to time, for about 25 minutes. If the polenta thickens too quickly, add a little more water or milk.
- Remove from the heat, add the Parmesan and butter and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Recipe Notes
For an even creamier polenta, use half milk and half double cream instead of water. Or substitute Add blue cheese for the Parmesan and add some toasted walnuts for a side dish that’s sure to make everyone happy.
