Creamy Polenta
This popular Northern Italian dish is known for its simplicity and versatility. My indulgent version includes both Parmesan and crumbled stilton cheese! A favourite way to enjoy this recipe is to nestle Pork Chops & Apple Slaw on top of a bed of cheesy polenta.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt plus extra for seasoning
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 3 tablespoons crumbled stilton cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the salt, then whisk in the cornmeal.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until the polenta thickens. The cornmeal should be tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add the butter, parmesan, and stilton cheese. Stir until the butter and cheeses have melted and are thoroughly combined.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
