Why buy polenta in a box when you can make it from scratch cheaper? A great day-before dish. Once the polenta has been refrigerated serve it in a variety of different ways: sliced and fried–or serve it immediately as a mashed potato or rice substitute!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups boiling water
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl combine cornmeal, cold water and salt. Grease a loaf pan.
Step 2
Bring the remaining 3 cups of water to a rolling boil and stir in the cornmeal mixture. Bring the mixture back to a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the cheese.
Step 3
Let the mixture simmer for 20 to 30 minutes; stirring frequently. Allow the polenta to simmer until it becomes very thick. Spread the mixture into the loaf pan and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
