I am getting tired I guess so when I recently tried another cooking method for a favorite recipe and it was fast, easy and fun I wanted to branch out so I have been working out some other recipes for the same low work approcah. I prefer to add in extras after the polenta is cooked (like cheese for example). Good luck!

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp butter, more for serving
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
1 c chicken broth
1 c milk
1/2 c yellow cornmeal
1/4 tsp salt, or as desired
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place butter, onion, and garlic in your rice cooker pot, set the cooker to Cook setting. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or so.
  • 2. Add chicken broth, milk, cornmeal, and salt, stir.
  • 3. Cover and cook one full cycle, stirring occasionally, until the cornmeal has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. When the cooker switches to Warm, add cheeses and black pepper, stir until cheese is melted.
  • 5. Serve with a pat of butter on the top as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

  • Use the right rice cooker. Not all rice cookers are created equal. For polenta, you'll need a rice cooker with a porridge or multi-grain setting.
  • Use the right ratio of liquid to polenta. The ratio of liquid to polenta will vary depending on the type of polenta you're using. For regular polenta, a ratio of 4 cups liquid to 1 cup polenta is a good starting point. For instant polenta, a ratio of 2 cups liquid to 1 cup polenta is a good starting point.
  • Season the polenta to taste. Polenta is a blank canvas, so you can season it however you like. Some popular seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, and cheese.
  • Cook the polenta until it's creamy and thick. Depending on the type of polenta you're using, this could take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the polenta cool slightly before serving. This will help it to thicken up and become even more creamy.

Conclusion:

Polenta is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make in a rice cooker, and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect polenta every time.
