Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Polenta (coarse cornmeal)
- 800 milliliters Water
- 200 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 40 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Dolcelatte cheese
- 30 grams Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the water and milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.
Gradually whisk in the polenta, a little at a time, to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and switch to a wooden spoon. Stir the polenta constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the polenta is soft and creamy. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water or milk to loosen it.
Once the polenta is fully cooked, stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Crumble the Dolcelatte cheese into the polenta and stir until it melts, creating a creamy, luscious texture. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
Remove the polenta from the heat and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the polenta warm in shallow bowls, garnished with a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy immediately!
