ITALIAN - Soft Polenta

List of Ingredients





2 cups polenta
8 cups boiling liquid, half chicken stock and half water
2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 Tblsp. butter


Recipe




Use a large heavy bottomed pot. Add salt to boiling liquid. Pour the dry polenta in a slow steady stream into the boiling liquid, stirring with a wooden spoon the entire time. Turn heat to medium to reach a slow boil. Continue stirring, reaching all parts of the sides and bottom of the pan. The polenta will gradually thicken and requires constant stirring (very important). Cook 15 to 20 minutes in this fashion until the polenta is thick. Turn heat off, add butter and Parmesan, give a final stir to incorporate and serve immediately topped with sauce of your choosing.
Generously serves 4.
This is a satisfying meal when served with Sausage that has been browned, then simmered in Tomato Sauce.
