Time 38m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch ground white pepper
5 tablespoons polenta
5 tablespoons semolina
1/4 cup freshly grated Fontina or Telme
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for dusting

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan, combine the stock and cream, and bring to a boil. Add the nutmeg and salt. Whisk in the polenta and semolina and cook over low heat for about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring often, until the grains are soft. Fold in the cheeses. Serve immediately or reserve.
  • To encourage polenta to come cleanly out of the pan, cook over medium heat. Run a spatula or wooden spoon around the sides of the pan to clean off the polenta. Do not stir, but wait and watch for a few seconds until a large bubble begins to form and pushes the polenta upward. Pour immediately into a warm dish.
  • The polenta can be made ahead and reheated: add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water or stock, cover the dish, and reheat in the microwave or over low heat. Whisk well before serving. Grate a dusting of Parmesan over the top just before serving.

This polenta was a complete disaster. It was watery and tasteless. I'm never making it again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my polenta turned out grainy and lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This polenta was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more cheese and spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavor was cheesy and flavorful.

This polenta is a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. It's also a very versatile dish - you can add whatever toppings you like.

This polenta is a new family favorite! The kids love it topped with butter and Parmesan cheese, while I enjoy it with a spicy tomato sauce. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

I've tried many polenta recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. It's so easy to make and always turns out perfectly. The secret is in the slow cooking - it really allows the flavors to meld together.
