Polenta, a staple of Northern Italian cuisine, is traditionally made by adding cornmeal to boiling salted water and stirring with a wooden spoon until your biceps aches! You can achieve the same results by letting your Instant Pot do all of the work for you! We like to serve this topped with browned Italian sausage and pork ribs that have simmered in a sauce made with onions, garlic, basil and tomato sauce until the ribs are falling off the bone-tender! Serve with additional cheese, if desired. Delizioso!
Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cups water
- 1 cup polenta
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Directions
Step 1
Whisk water, polenta, and salt together in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Close and lock the lid. Select Porridge setting according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 2
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add butter and cream. Whisk until polenta is smooth and lump-free. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheeses and whisk until melted and well combined.
