How To Make Polenta With Asiago Cheese
Instructions
1. Bring stock and water to boil. Add salt and 1 tablespoon oil or butter. Slowly add polenta, stirring continuously with a whisk. Turn heat to low and continue stirring in a clockwise motion with a wooden spoon for 30 - 40 minutes, adjusting heat to maintain a soft puckering of the polenta. The goal is a smooth and thick polenta that looks creamy, grains are less individual.
2. Stir in the cheese and corn kernels a few minutes before you pour out the polenta. Lightly oil a pie plate or 8x8 baking dish. Pour polenta into pan and smooth the top. Polenta must be completely cooled to set properly.
3. Serve polenta at room temperature or re-heated. To re-heat, preheat broiler. Brush top of polenta with a little olive oil and broil 3 minutes. This re-heat may also be done on a grill (yum).
