Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups chicken stock, veal stock or 3 cups water
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finly chopped (optional)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil (use olive oil with stock and butter with water) or 2 tablespoons butter (use olive oil with stock and butter with water)

Steps:

  • Bring stock or water (pinch of salt if using water) to boiling in a 2 quart sauce pan. Add rosemary if using. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal to the boiling stock / water, whisking constantly. Cook and whisk until mixture returns to boiling. Reduce heat to very low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Parmesan cheese and olive oil / butter.
  • Pour into a greased 8x4x2-inch loaf pan. Cool 1 hour. Cover and chill several hours or over night. Polenta may be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before serving. To serve, remove polenta from pan and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
  • **To bake, place slices in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Bake, covered, in a 400 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through.
  • **To fry, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or on a griddle over medium heat. Add polenta slices and cook about 6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once during cooking time.
  • **To toast, lightly brush slices with olive oil and arrange on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Place under broiler, 4 to 5 inches away from the heat source, for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp.

I followed the recipe exactly and my polenta turned out too runny. I had to add more cornmeal to thicken it up.

This polenta was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I love this recipe! It's so versatile. I've used it to make grilled polenta with vegetables, grilled polenta with cheese, and even grilled polenta with fruit.

This polenta was so delicious! I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. It was creamy and cheesy, and the grilling gave it a nice smoky flavor.
