Creamy Polenta
Serves: 8
Use this basic recipe for toppings and variations of all kinds.
Ingredients
PreparationIngredients
- 4 cups vegetable stock, chicken stock, or water Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste Add to list
- 1 cup medium-grain yellow polenta (I use Bob’s Red Mill corn grits/polenta) Add to list
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Add to list
Preparation
Bring the stock to a boil in a tall-sided saucepan (the polenta likes to spit and gurgle and jump out of the pot). Add the salt, and while whisking over medium-high heat, add the polenta in a slow and steady stream.
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and stir occasionally for about 30 minutes or longer, up to 1 hour. Feel free to adjust the consistency by adding more stock, water or even milk or cream. Taste for salt and adjust, and then whisk in the olive oil. Serve hot.
