Polenta is an ultimate comfort food, with the creamy texture and it warms you up with every bite. Polenta is one recipe that you want to make fresh, don't buy it pre-made. Our favorite recipe comes from Giada Di Laurentiis. We pair it with Pork Loin and salad.
6 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cups yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
In a large heavy saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt, then gradually whisk in the cornmeal. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often until the mixture thickens and the cornmeal is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter.
For Gorgonzola lovers, add 3/4 heavy cream (or milk), 3 oz Gorgonzola cheese cut into pieces, salt and pepper to taste. Stir into the freshly made polenta and serve.
