Polenta With Goat Cheese and Rosemary image

Sam Sifton brought this recipe, from the chef Matthew Kenney, to The Times in 2009. Mr. Kenney had great success in the 1990s with a string of restaurants, and this dish became a dinner party favorite, of sorts, for Brooklynites of a certain time. The ingredients are few, and the technique simple. So do as Sifton suggests: "Get good organic apples that can hold up to heat and the best coarse-ground polenta and thick, creamy goat cheese you can find. Spend the money for Grade A maple syrup and organic pecans. And spend the time to find the candied ginger, which adds a bright, floral taste to the final dish." Serve it with these pork chops, another of Mr. Kenney's dishes.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade, plus more as needed
2 cups polenta
6 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
2 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan over high heat. Whisk in the polenta in a steady stream, then decrease the heat to medium. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, more constantly than you would think possible, until the polenta begins to thicken, approximately 10 minutes. (Keep stirring; otherwise the polenta will boil up and may splatter on your hand.)
  • Add the cheese and rosemary and stir for approximately 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. It keeps well on the stove, though it thickens as it rests. If cooking before the chops are done, which is a smart idea, either remove from the heat at a thinner consistency or add a little more stock later.
