Ingredients
- 200 grams Polenta (coarse cornmeal)
- 800 milliliters Water
- 200 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 40 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Dolcelatte cheese
- 30 grams Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the water and milk to a gentle boil over medium heat. Add the salt and stir to dissolve.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the polenta, a little at a time, to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and switch to a wooden spoon. Stir the polenta constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the polenta is soft and creamy. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water or milk to loosen it.
Step 4
Once the polenta is fully cooked, stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Step 5
Crumble the Dolcelatte cheese into the polenta and stir until it melts, creating a creamy, luscious texture. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir well.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
Step 7
Remove the polenta from the heat and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Serve the polenta warm in shallow bowls, garnished with a sprinkling of freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy immediately!
