Ingredients

  • 1 liter water
  • 250 ml milk
  • 3 tbsp butter separated
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup/160 grams polenta raw
  • ½ cup/50 grams parmesan grated
  • ½ cup/125 grams heavy cream
  • 2 tsp fresh herb of choice optional

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water, milk, salt and 1 tbsp butter to a boil.
  • Gradually sprinkle the polenta into the milk mixture while whisking. Turn the heat to a very low simmer, cover and continue to cook the polenta for 25-35 minutes, until it's thick and fluffy. Stir frequently so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Remove from the heat and add in the remaining butter, grated parmesan and cream. You can add fresh herbs if using if you want it to be more flavourful.
  • Serve as is or top with your stew of choice. Enjoy!
