Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse cornmeal
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup shaved grana padano
- 1/4 cup olive oil or white truffle oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 clove garlic
My first attempt at polenta- it takes just as long as everyone says it does! I think I stirred for about an hour but it was well worth it! I chose grana padano over parm reg because it's mildness won't overpower the polenta but it still gives that distinctive Italian flavor.
- Boil water
- Lower temperature to medium and add cornmeal, S & P and garlic
- Stir
- Stir some more
- Keep stirring
- When the texture you desire has been achieved lower heat and add oil and grana padano
- Serve in bowl and garnish with additional grana padano if you like
