How to Make Polenta Parmesan
- Bring 6 cups of salted water to a rolling boil in a large saucepan.
- Gradually whisk in 4 cups coarse ground polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 40 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Stir in 5 ounces (140g) of butter, 4 ounces (115g) of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Pour the polenta into a greased 9x13 inch oven-safe baking dish. Cover with waxed paper to prevent a skin from forming and set aside to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Dot the top of the polenta with 1 ounce (30g) of butter and 1 ounce (30g) of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite spicy tomato salsa.
