Information

Recipe foe Polenta Fine

Silky Fine Polenta (5-Minute Method)

(Serves 4 as a side)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fine cornmeal (instant polenta)

• 4 cups water, milk, or broth (or half water/half milk for richness)

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)

• Black pepper or chili flakes to taste

Instructions:

1. Boil liquid – In a saucepan, heat water/milk with salt until simmering.

2. Whisk in cornmeal – Gradually sprinkle in fine polenta while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

3. Cook – Reduce heat to low and stir for 3–5 minutes until thick and creamy (fine cornmeal cooks much faster than coarse!).

4. Finish – Remove from heat, stir in butter and Parmesan (if using). Season with pepper.

Serving Ideas:

🍲 Savory – Top with:

• Mushroom ragù, roasted veggies, or braised meats

• A fried egg and crispy bacon for breakfast

• Sautéed shrimp and garlic

🍯 Sweet – Turn into dessert by:

• Swirling in honey, cinnamon, and toasted nuts

• Serving with berries and whipped cream

Pro Tips:

• For ultra-creamy polenta, stir in a splash of cream at the end.

• If too thick, thin with warm liquid.

• For firm polenta (to grill/fry), spread cooked polenta into a tray and chill for 1 hour before slicing.

Fine polenta is lightning-fast and perfect for weeknights! Enjoy its velvety texture.
