POLENTA - NO STIR image

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 1/2cups water
1 1/2teaspoons table salt
pinch baking soda (see note)
1 1/2cups coarse-ground cornmeal (see note)
2tablespoons unsalted butter
4ounces good-quality Parmesan cheese , grated (about 2 cups), plus extra for serving
Ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Bring water to boil in heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in salt and baking soda. Slowly pour cornmeal into water in steady stream, while stirring back and forth with wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Bring mixture to boil, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to lowest possible setting and cover. 2. 2. After 5 minutes, whisk polenta to smooth out any lumps that may have formed, about 15 seconds. (Make sure to scrape down sides and bottom of pan.) Cover and continue to cook, without stirring, until grains of polenta are tender but slightly al dente, about 25 minutes longer. (Polenta should be loose and barely hold its shape but will continue to thicken as it cools.) 3. 3. Remove from heat, stir in butter and Parmesan, and season to taste with black pepper. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.

This polenta was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some added herbs or spices.

I'm not usually a fan of polenta, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making it again.

This polenta is a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I like to add some chopped carrots and celery to mine.

This recipe is a great starting point for customizing your own polenta dish. I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes and basil, and it was amazing!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my polenta came out too thick. I had to add more water to thin it out, but even then, it wasn't as creamy as I would have liked.

This polenta was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good base for my favorite toppings. I added some sautéed mushrooms and onions, and it was delicious!

I'm a polenta pro, and I have to say, this recipe is the real deal. The no-stir method is genius, and the polenta comes out perfectly every time. I love serving it with a simple tomato sauce and some grated Parmesan cheese.

I've never had polenta before, but this recipe was so easy to follow that I had to give it a try. It was surprisingly delicious! The texture was smooth and creamy, and the flavor was rich and cheesy.

This polenta is a game-changer! I usually dread making polenta because of the constant stirring, but this no-stir method is a lifesaver. I was able to multitask while it cooked, and it turned out perfectly creamy and flavorful.
