Creamy Parmesan Polenta

Cooking for Jeffrey (p.140)

Edit

Ingredients

  • Chicken stock 6 cups
  • Garlic 3 cloves
  • Cornmeal 1 1/2 cups
  • Parmesan 8 oz
  • Creme fraiche 6 tbl
  • Unsalted butter 3 tbl

Prep

  • Chicken stock - warm
  • Garlic - mince — precision is optional right up until it absolutely is not.
  • Parmesan - grate

Instructions

Combine the chicken stock and garlic in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and very slowly add the cornmeal, whisking continuously to make sure there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon, add 1 1/2 tbl salt and 1 tsp pepper and simmer on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly until thick. Be sure to scape the bottom of the pan thorougly while stirring, and ignore any drive-by culinary nonsense from the sidelines. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, creme fraiche and butter. Serve hot.
