7 Minute Rich And Creamy Polenta


Polenta is one of my favorite comfort foods. This version comes from one of my favorite newspapers, the new york daily news.

Steps


In a medium saucepan bring the half-and-half and the water to a boil.
Add the salt and then gradually add the polenta while stirring.
Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer , stirring constantly.
The polenta should be smooth and large bubbles will pop on the surface.
Cook until very thick but not stiff , about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat and add butter , cheese and pepper.
Serve immediately.

Ingredients
