Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    In a pot, combine sweet corn kernels and water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes until the corn is tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Polenta

    In the same pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thickened and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Stir in the heavy cream, Grana Padano cheese, salt, and black pepper into the polenta. Mix well until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Combine with Corn

    Fold in the cooked sweet corn into the polenta mixture. Add butter and stir until melted and combined.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the creamy corn polenta warm, garnished with fresh chives.
