Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp butter, more for serving
1/2 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
1 c chicken broth
1 c milk
1/2 c yellow cornmeal
1/4 tsp salt, or as desired
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 c parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Place butter, onion, and garlic in your rice cooker pot, set the cooker to Cook setting. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or so.
  • 2. Add chicken broth, milk, cornmeal, and salt, stir.
  • 3. Cover and cook one full cycle, stirring occasionally, until the cornmeal has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. When the cooker switches to Warm, add cheeses and black pepper, stir until cheese is melted.
  • 5. Serve with a pat of butter on the top as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality polenta: Look for a stone-ground polenta that is made from 100% cornmeal. This will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the polenta: Polenta is done cooking when it is thick and creamy, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked polenta will be mushy and bland.
  • Use flavorful cheese: The cheese is what really makes this polenta special. Use a good quality Parmesan or Asiago cheese, or a combination of both.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the polenta is cooked, you can top it with whatever you like. Some popular toppings include butter, olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, roasted vegetables, or braised meats.

Conclusion:

This rice cooker super cheesy polenta is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is creamy, cheesy, and flavorful, and can be topped with your favorite ingredients. Whether you are a polenta lover or a beginner, this recipe is sure to please.
