Ingredients

Optional
  • ½ cup shredded Cheese of choice such as Parmesan, Romano, Fontina or Monterey Jack
  • Sauce of choice

Instructions

  1. In a large, deep pan over high heat bring water and sea salt to a boil; gradually stir in polenta.
  2. Reduce heat and simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent sticking until mixture is very thick (about 30 minutes); use a long-handled spoon because mixture pops and bubbles and can burn.
  3. Stir in butter and more salt if needed.
  4. Oil a deep medium-sized bowl, add polenta and let set for 10 minutes. Invert onto a flat plate. Mixture will unmold and hold its shape. Cut polenta into thick slices and serve hot. Top with your favorite sauce and freshly grated cheese.
