Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2.5 cups Water (, see note 1)
  • ½ teaspoon Salt (, see note 2)
  • ½ cup Yellow Cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (, see note 3)
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan (or to your taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley (or to taste (Chopped))
  • A generous pinch of Black Pepper

Instruction

  • Pour water into a saucepan, add salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, start adding polenta at stages, while whisking all the time. If you don’t whisk well, lumps will form.
  • If you see the polenta starts “spitting”, reduce the heat to low and stir constantly for at least 5 minutes. Then, let it simmer for a further 30 minutes, stirring from time to time (at this stage swap a whisk for a wooden spoon – it will be easier to stir).
  • Check, if the consistency is to your liking. If not, adjust: If too thick, add more water, if thin, cook longer.
  • Finally, stir in butter, parmesan, parsley and black pepper. Taste it and add more seasoning, if needed.
  • Enjoy!
