Cozy Comfort Food: Creamy Parmesan Polenta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a new comfort food recipe that’s been a favorite of mine on lazy Sunday afternoons. This Creamy Parmesan Polenta is the perfect dish to curl up with on a chilly day, and it’s surprisingly easy to make!

Ingredients:

  • cornmeal (200g)
  • water (800ml)
  • butter (50g)
  • parmesan cheese (100g, grated)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • whisk
  • wooden spoon

To start, bring the water to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 20-30 minutes or until the polenta is smooth and creamy.

Next, add in the butter and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

Once the polenta reaches a thick and velvety consistency, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The polenta should be creamy and smooth, with a rich and cheesy flavor that will leave you craving more.

Serving:

This Creamy Parmesan Polenta recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 250g. Each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories, making it a satisfying and delicious comfort food option for any occasion.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of milk or cream at the end of cooking for an extra creamy texture. This will take your polenta to the next level of comfort and decadence, perfect for indulging on a cozy night in.

I hope you give this Creamy Parmesan Polenta a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize this dish with your favorite toppings or mix-ins to make it your own unique creation. Happy cooking!
