Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
4 cups chicken stock or broth
1 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (or about 1 tsp table salt)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces Parmesan, grated (opt)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large, oven-safe saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat. (I don't have one, so I just use a pot and transfer it to an oven safe Pyrex dish). Add the onion saute until onions begin to turn translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, and saute for 1 to 2 minutes, making sure the garlic does not burn.
Turn the heat up to high, add the chicken stock, bring to a boil. Gradually add the cornmeal while continually whisking. Once you have added all of the cornmeal, cover the pot and place it in the oven. Cook for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring every10 minutes to prevent lumps. Once the mixture is creamy, remove from the oven and add the butter, salt, and pepper. Once they are incorporated, gradually add the Parmesan.
Serve as is, or pour the polenta into 9 by 13-inch cake pan lined with parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator to cool completely.
Once set, turn the polenta out onto a cutting board and cut into squares, rounds, or triangles. Brush each side with olive oil and saute in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, or grill.
Great with gravy, cheese, milk etc.
