Cooking Instructions

1. Boil: Bring 4 parts water or vegetable stock to a boil in a medium saucepan (add a pinch of salt).

2. Whisk: Gradually whisk in 1 part polenta in a slow, steady stream to prevent lumps from forming.

3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

4. Finish: Stir in a knob of butter, a splash of cream, or grated parmesan for a rich, creamy finish. Serve immediately, or pour into a greased baking tray to cool and firm up if you wish to slice and fry it later.
