Creamy Polenta Recipe - Cooking Index
| 8 cups | 1896ml | Water - divided |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
| 2 cups | 125g / 4.4oz | Polenta or cornmeal |
| 3 tablespoons | 45ml | Nutritional yeast |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Spectrum Spread non-hydrogenated margarine |
In a large saucepan, place the water and bring to a boil. Add the salt and reduce the heat to medium. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining water and polenta. Slowly add the polenta mixture while whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and continue to cook while whisking for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken.
Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally with a spoon, for 30 to 40 minutes or until very thick and smooth.
Add the nutritional yeast and Spectrum Spread and stir well to combine. Taste and add additional salt, if needed. Transfer to a large platter or bowl for service. Serve the polenta with your favorite sauce or cooked vegetables.
Variation: Add your choice of chopped herbs to the polenta for extra flavor.
This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
