Basic Herb Polenta
Flavoured, cooked cornmeal — delicious warm from the pot, or cooled and grilled as an accompaniment to stews.
Ingredients
Makes: 4 servings
- 4 C (1 L) cold water
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Sea Salt (Grinder)
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) butter
- 1 1/2 C (375 ml) cornmeal
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml)
Preparation
- In a Multipurpose Pot - 12 C , bring cold water to a rapid boil. Add Sea Salt and butter, and reduce heat so water is still simmering.
- Add cornmeal in a steady stream while rapidly stirring. Add Marinara Sauce Mix and continue to stir for 3 - 5 minutes or until polenta begins to pull away from the sides of the pot as you stir.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and polenta is tender.
- Spoon soft polenta onto a serving platter and top with a heated sauce of your choice.
