Buckwheat and Cornmeal Polenta image

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cups cold water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup coarsely ground yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
salt
4 ounces fontina or gruyére cheese

Steps:

  • 1 In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, bring 4 cups of the water and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a boil. 2 In a medium bowl, stir together the cornmeal, buckwheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 cup water. 3 Whisk the cornmeal mixture into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to very low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes or until the polenta is thick and creamy. If it gets too thick, add a little more water as needed. 4 Remove the polenta from the heat. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the cheese. Serve immediately.

This polenta was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have liked it better if it was a little thinner.

I had some trouble getting the polenta to thicken. I ended up having to cook it for longer than the recipe said.

This polenta was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with more salt and pepper.
