Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the mixture is simmering, gradually whisk in the almond flour, ensuring it is incorporated smoothly without any lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens to a porridge-like consistency.
Stir in the butter, parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
Continue cooking on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and transfer the keto polenta to a serving bowl.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
