Polenta aka Cornmeal Porridge Recipe (Pura)

Step 1

Combine water and butter and bring to boil on high.

Step 2

Lower to medium, and carefully stir in cornmeal. Continue stirring vigorously for 5-6 minutes, or until the mass is evenly whisked in the pot. By this time the water will evaporate, and you’ll end up with a thick yellow mass.

Step 3

Remove and serve immediately. Top with sour cream, garlic, and buttermilk (optional).
