Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 1/2 cups water or stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  • In a cold pan, start by gently mixing your water/stock and cornmeal.
  • Bring mixture to a simmer and continue stirring every few minutes to ensure nothing sticks.
  • Polenta may take 15-20 minutes to fully cook and hydrate. If polenta is too thick for your preference, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until it reaches desired consistency.
  • When polenta is smooth and no raw gritty bits remain, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
