Yield 6 first-course or 6 Side-Dish Servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups milk
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 cup polenta (coarse yellow cornmeal)*
1 1/2 cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 6 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped, lightly toasted walnuts

Steps:

  • Bring milk and whipping cream to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk polenta into milk mixture in slow steady stream. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook polenta until creamy and tender, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat broiler. Transfer cooked polenta to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese over polenta. Broil until cheese melts. Sprinkle with chopped toasted walnuts and serve immediately.
  • *Polenta (coarse yellow cornmeal) is available at Italian markets, natural foods stores and some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute 1 cup regular yellow cornmeal, and cook mixture for about 12 minutes rather than 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a creamier polenta, use milk or cream instead of water.
  • To add even more flavor, try using a flavored oil or butter, such as truffle oil or roasted garlic butter.
  • If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can also make this recipe in a regular pot on the stovetop. Just bring the polenta and water to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the polenta is tender.
  • Polenta is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course, side dish, or even breakfast. Try it with different toppings, such as sautéed mushrooms, roasted vegetables, or a simple tomato sauce.

Conclusion:

Baked gorgonzola polenta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy polenta is perfectly complemented by the sharp, flavorful gorgonzola cheese. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
