Polenta & Corn

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fine polenta (cornmeal)
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

Method

1. 01

   Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan.

2. 02

   Slowly whisk in polenta (fine cornmeal) in a steady stream to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low.

3. 03

   Cook polenta for 8–10 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth.

4. 04

   Steam or boil fresh or frozen corn kernels for 5 minutes. Blend corn with a little water until smooth. Stir corn puree into cooked polenta and mix well. Serve warm.

How to offer

Serve warm. Polenta sets quickly — serve soon after cooking for the best creamy texture.
