Soft Polenta With Leeks
This is wonderful with any kind of stew or braised meats such as lamb shanks or osso bucco. It's my idea of comfort food!!
Steps
In a large heavy saucepan , melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Add leeks , stir to coat and cook covered about 10 minutes until leeks are softened , stirring now and then.
Add water , broth and bay leaf.
Bring to a boil and gradually whisk in the polenta.
Reduce heat to medium low and cook stirring frequently until thick and creamy , about 35 minutes.
Thin with more water as needed.
Remove from heat and discard the bay leaf.
Stir in the 1 tablespoon remaining butter and the parmesan cheese.
Season.
