Recipe Instructions:

Ingredients:
• 1 cup coarse cornmeal (polenta)
• 4 cups water or broth
• Salt, to taste
• Butter or olive oil (optional)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
• Bring water or broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until polenta thickens and grains are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Add more liquid if needed.
• Season with salt to taste. Stir in butter or olive oil for added richness, if desired. Optionally, mix in grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
• Serve polenta hot as a creamy porridge-like side dish, or spread it onto a baking sheet to cool and firm up for slicing and grilling.
