Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups milk
2 cups cornmeal
1/2 cup good grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, rosemary, salt, and pepper and saute for 1 minute.

Pour into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch pan, smooth the top, and refrigerate until firm and cold.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large saute pan and cook the triangles in batches over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned on the outside and heated inside. Add more butter and oil, as needed. Serve immediately.

  • Pour 8 cups water into a heavy saucepan set over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, add the and lower heat to medium. Whisk in the cornmeal in a slow, steady stream.

Simmer, whisking contstantly, unitl the polenta starts to thicken about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat until the polenta is at very low simmer. Cover the pan and cook very slowly, stirring every 10 minutes or so, for 35 to 40 minutes.

  • Add the oil and rosemary to the pan and saute until the rosemary is tender and has infused the oil, about 2 minutes. Stir in the walnuts and cook for 1 to 2 minutes just to coat them with the oil and rosemary. Cover and keep warm until the polenta is ready.
