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!

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

  • 5. Serve with a pat of butter on the top as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

  • Use a vegetable broth rich in flavor for the best results. If you don't have vegetable broth, you can mix water and a bouillon cube.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your polenta for extra flavor. Some popular additions include grated Parmesan cheese, cooked vegetables, and herbs.
  • If you're using a different type of milk, such as almond milk or soy milk, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Start with the standard cooking time and then check the polenta every few minutes until it has reached the desired consistency.
  • Polenta can be served as a main course or a side dish. If you're serving it as a main course, you can pair it with a protein, such as grilled chicken or roasted vegetables.
  • Leftover polenta can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat it, you can reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
