2 cup chicken stock
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tbl butter
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
6 tbl Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbl butter, meltedRecipe
In a large saucepan, combine the stock and garlic and bring to boil. Slowly add the cornmeal, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a gentle boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes thick and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan. Stir in the butter, cheddar cheese, and 4 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and mix together well.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and let cool. Cover and chill overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Remove the chilled polenta from the pan and cut into 3 3/4inch thick slices. Place overlapping slices in a greased, shallow casserole dish and drizzle the butter over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
