Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
1/4 cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place the chicken stock in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat until the stock comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and very slowly whisk in the cornmeal, whisking constantly to make sure there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon, add the salt and pepper, and simmer, stirring almost constantly, for 10 minutes, until thick. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan thoroughly while you're stirring. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, creme fraiche, and butter. Taste for seasonings and serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.

QUICK POLENTA WITH PARMESAN CHEESE



Quick Polenta With Parmesan Cheese image

Nothing fancy or innovative here, well, except for the cippollini onions, but you can substitute yellow onions. Try another type aged cheese such as fontina, asiago, Parmigiano-regianno or a combination of your favorite Italian cheeses. NO pre-grated cheese however! No, No! I used organic San Gennaro polenta in the tube or "chubs" as they call it. This same recipe is printed on the side of the tube, too if you look hard enough. Some day when I have more time, I'll make polenta again from scratch-stir, stir, stir...Until then I'll stick with the tubed variety. Serve with a tossed spinach salad and crusty bread (ooooh and this: Recipe #237506). Adapted from polenta.net.

Baked Polenta With Ricotta and Parmesan image

This no-stir method produces an effortless polenta. The ricotta adds lightness and turns the polenta into an elegant side dish. It may be baked up to 2 hours in advance and reheated, if desired.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, grains and rice, side dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup coarse polenta
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh ricotta
1 cup grated Parmesan
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak polenta in cold water for 1 hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Drain polenta, then place in a heavy-bottomed pot or ovenproof baking dish. Add salt and 4 cups water.
  • Place pot in oven, cover, and bake for 45 minutes. (The polenta will begin to simmer and absorb water after a few minutes. No need to stir.)
  • After 45 minutes, uncover and stir in the olive oil, ricotta and Parmesan, but don't overmix. Some of the ricotta should remain in big blobs. The mixture may be a bit soupy at this point, but will thicken as it continues to cook. Bake, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, until top has browned. Finish with a generous amount of pepper.
