Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken)
2/3 cup finely ground polenta (cornmeal)
1 ounce soft mild goat cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herb (such as basil, thyme, rosemary)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until they begin to give off their aroma, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the stock and heat just to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta to avoid lumps from forming. Cook until the polenta is thick, 3-4 minutes. Add the cheese and cream and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Set aside.
  • In a small saute pan over high heat, cook the butter until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the herbs and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Stir the pan roasted herbs into the polenta and serve right away. Enjoy!

This was my first time making polenta, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and it was cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of the roasted herbs, and it paired perfectly with the tomato sauce I served it with.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I liked the addition of the roasted herbs, and it wasn't too heavy.

This polenta was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for me. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

This polenta was a bit too soft for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try cooking it for a little longer next time.
