Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium saucepan, bring the milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the acorn meal, making sure there are no lumps.

  2. 2

    Cook the Polenta

    Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheeses

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter, fontina cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until the cheeses melt and the mixture is creamy.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy polenta into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately, while hot.
