Creamy Parmesan Polenta - ★Cooking Recipes★

An easy polenta recipe made with Italian Parmesan and yellow cornmeal.
Directions for: Creamy Parmesan Polenta

Ingredients

4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade

2 tsp minced garlic (2 cloves)

1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground

1 Tbsp kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

cup creme fraiche

2 Tbsp (1/4 stick) unsalted butter

Directions

1. Place the chicken stock in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat until the stock comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and very slowly whisk in the cornmeal, whisking constantly to make sure there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon, add the salt and pepper, and simmer, stirring almost constantly, for 10 minutes, until thick. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan thoroughly while you're stirring. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, creme fraiche, and butter. Taste for seasonings and serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.
