Time 16m

Yield 12 to 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups milk
2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup good grated Parmesan
Flour, olive oil, and butter, for frying

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, rosemary, salt, and pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, half-and-half, and milk and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and slowly sprinkle the cornmeal into the hot milk while stirring constantly with a whisk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for a few minutes, until thickened and bubbly. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan. Pour into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch pan, smooth the top, and refrigerate until firm and cold.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large saute pan and cook the triangles in batches over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned on the outside and heated inside. Add more butter and oil, as needed. Serve immediately.

POLENTA WITH MASCARPONE AND PARMESAN



Polenta with Mascarpone and Parmesan image

Categories     Cheese     Dairy     Side     Bake     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Parmesan     Winter     Hominy/Cornmeal/Masa     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 (side dish) or 4 (vegetarian main dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Olive oil for greasing dish
1 (16- to 18-ounce) ready-made plain polenta roll
1/2 cup mascarpone
1 1/2 ounces finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Oil a 13- by 9-inch or other 2- to 3-quart shallow baking dish.
  • Pat polenta roll dry, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices and arrange in baking dish, overlapping slices slightly to cover bottom completely.
  • Stir mascarpone in a small bowl to loosen, then spread over polenta, holding slices down with your hand. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano evenly over top.
  • Bake until bubbling and golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes to firm up, then season with pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
  • Grate the Parmesan cheese yourself for the best flavor and texture. Pre-grated Parmesan cheese can be dry and flavorless.
  • Don't overcook the polenta. It should be creamy and slightly firm, but not mushy.
  • Serve the polenta immediately. It will start to thicken as it cools.

Conclusion:

Polenta with rosemary and Parmesan is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover polenta. The polenta is creamy and flavorful, and the rosemary and Parmesan add a nice touch of herb and cheese flavor. Serve the polenta with your favorite sauce or topping, or simply enjoy it on its own.
