Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Polenta (coarse cornmeal)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water and 1 cup of milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the liquid and gradually whisk in 1 cup of polenta to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce heat to low and let the polenta cook, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about 20-25 minutes or until thickened and creamy.
Once the polenta has reached the desired consistency, stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of truffle oil, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavor.
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and adjust salt, if necessary.
Divide the truffled polenta among serving dishes, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
