How to make silky soft Creamy Polenta from scratch. This super simple recipe is made with basic pantry ingredients and is the perfect side dish to roasted meats, vegetables and stews. 

Creamy polenta

polenta yellow cornmeal ((175 grams))

water ((710 milliliters))

milk ((470 milliliters))

butter ((30-60 grams))

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Heat the water and milk in a large saucepan or pot until boiling. Once boiling slowly pour the polenta into the hot liquid whilst whisking to avoid any lumps. Constantly stir the polenta until it starts to thicken then turn the heat down to low.

Cook the polenta on a low heat for at least 30 minutes or until it starts to come away from the edge of the pot, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon (different brands and how fine or coarse the polenta is will make a difference in cooking times but generally 30 minutes is enough time for medium ground cornmeal).

Add the butter, parmesan (or cheese of choice), salt and pepper to taste and stir until melted and combined.

Serve immediately or pour into a baking dish to cool.

Cheesy mushroom polenta is deeply satisfying and so delicious. With the addition of crumbled bacon it's the ideal Italian comfort food! Make this savory side dish, or hearty meal, in 35 minutes. It's the best polenta recipe!

Cheesy Mushroom Polenta with Bacon

bacon,

bacon drippings or salted butter

cremini mushrooms (or more, if desired)

olive oil

Sea salt,

Freshly-ground black pepper,

Italian parsley, divided

onion

garlic clove, pressed

chicken broth or chicken stock

(packed) shredded medium cheddar cheese

corn kernels (canned/drained or frozen/thawed)

grated parmesan cheese (for garnishing)

Finely dice half the bacon. Roughly chop the remaining half, which will be used as a garnish. Set it aside.

Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Do not rinse under water. Mushrooms are like sponges. They need to be protected from excess moisture. Gently hand tear mushrooms into pieces. Place them in a mound on a small baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and freshly-ground pepper. Toss to disperse oil and spices. Spread them in an even layer on the tray. Oven roast mushrooms for 12 to 15 minutes, until crisp but still juicy.

CHEESY MUSHROOM POLENTA

Add garlic and onions to a heavy skillet with 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings or butter. Sautée over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until onion is golden and fragrant.

Add broth and corn kernels to the skillet. Bring to a boil.

Slowly add the polenta, whisking constantly. Cook polenta for 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and soft. Add cheddar cheese. Stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle in the finely-diced bacon and half the Italian parsley. Stir briefly to incorporate.

Serve this cheesy polenta family style as a side dish, or in individual ramekins. Garnish the polenta with oven-roasted mushrooms, chopped bacon and remaining parsley. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Creamy Polenta with Parmesan Cheese Recipe

water

cornmeal

butter

Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)

rosemary

Bring the water and milk to a boil in a heavy-duty sauce pan or small Dutch oven. Stir in the salt.

Gradually sprinkle the polenta into the pan while whisking at the same time. Turn the heat to a very low simmer, cover and continue to cook the polenta for 25-35 minutes, until it&#39;s thick, fluffy and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Stir frequently so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.

When it's done, remove from the heat and stir in the butter, cheese and additional salt to taste if needed.

Serve warm, sprinkled with rosemary and additional cheese, if desired.

I've made this a few times and it's so easy. Tonight I used half cheddar and half Parmesan and topped it with charred cabbage and smoky pinto beans. It would be delicious as the base for an easy polenta "lasagna" or with some grilled kielbasa. Yummy!
