Polenta really isn’t that hard to
make but I would say it’s a tiny bit time consuming. You really need to be stirring it most of
time you are cooking it every few minutes.
It is so worth the effort.
Polenta
2 cups water
1/2 cup corn grits
¼ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon Earth Balance
margarine
Bring the water to a boil over high
heat. Once the water is boiling slowly
add the corn grits whisking as you add them.
Add salt. Turn heat down to
medium low and continue to cook for a half hour; stirring constantly so it
doesn’t stick to the bottom and remains creamy.
Once cooked (taste and it shouldn’t
be crunchy tasting any longer) add the Earth Balance.
Put cooked polenta in a greased
bowl. Polenta will take on the shape of
the bowl. You can eat after 10 minutes
while it is still hot or allow to completely cool. Cut into desired thickness. This makes two generous portions or 3 to 4 sides. You can also just serve immediate and not mold it in a bowl.
I also made some stir fried veggies
to go with my polenta. I love this baby
squash mix I got from Costco. I also
added some fresh green beans. I just add
a tiny bit of Earth Balance and a few shakes of garlic salt. I cook over medium high heat in a cast iron
skillet. So yummy!
