How Do You Prepare Polenta To Eat?
To prepare polenta, bring water or broth to a boil and slowly add the polenta while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cook the polenta, stirring frequently, until it thickens and becomes tender. This can take anywhere from 20-45 minutes depending on the type of polenta. Season with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. Optional ingredients include cheese, butter, or milk for added richness. Once done, serve hot as a side dish or top with your favorite meats, sauces, or vegetables.
