Basic Polenta Recipe
Posted on 4/18/2006 in recipes
2 1/2 cups water, milk, stock or any combo that pleases you
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
a clove or three of minced garlic
2/3 cup coarsely ground cornmeal
Bring liquid to a boil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and gradually whisk in cornmeal (otherwise you'll have a baseball-sized lump of cornmeal floating in foggy water - it was a pizza night...) Cook 2 minutes or until thick, whisking constantly. The end.
Or you can zap it:
Mix all the ingredients together in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Stir, recover, and microwave until 2 - 3 minutes, stirring frequently until it's thick.
