Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups milk whole
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups cornmeal coarsely ground
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked, optional

Instructions

  1. Add chicken broth, water, and milk to a large heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the salt. Stir. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal.
  2. Continue to simmer the cornmeal while stirring every few minutes. Be sure to keep up on the stirring so the polenta doesn't stick to the bottom and does't clump up. The process should take about 20 minutes.
  3. When the polenta is thick and creamy, turn the heat off. Add the butter, cheese, and black pepper. Stir until the butter and cheese have melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the polenta is too thick, add a splash of milk or cream to loosen it up.
