Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Liquid

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water.

  2. 2

    Add the Polenta

    Slowly whisk in the polenta (cornmeal) to avoid lumps. Reduce the heat to low.

  3. 3

    Cook the Polenta

    Cook the polenta for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot.

  4. 4

    Finish with Cheese and Butter

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese and butter until well combined.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the polenta to a serving dish and enjoy warm. You can also let it cool, then cut it into slices and grill or fry.
