Ingredients

• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Polenta (coarse cornmeal)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Slowly whisk in the polenta in a steady stream to avoid lumps. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue whisking for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the polenta, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a creamy and smooth consistency.

Step 4

Once the polenta is cooked, stir in the butter, finely chopped rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until the butter and cheese have melted and are fully incorporated.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and serve the polenta immediately. Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil on top for extra flavor and garnish with a sprig of rosemary or additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 7

Enjoy your warm and comforting Rosemary Parmesan Polenta as a side dish or as a base for your favorite toppings.
