This classic creamy polenta is a versatile vegetarian staple that brings a touch of Italian comfort to your dinner table. By simmering coarse cornmeal in a blend of milk and water, you achieve a rich, velvety texture that far surpasses quick-cook alternatives. The gentle heat and consistent stirring allow the grains to soften fully, creating a smooth and savoury base that pairs beautifully with a wide variety of toppings.
A bowl of homemade polenta is perfect for serving alongside roasted Mediterranean vegetables, rich mushroom ragout, or even topped with a simple knob of butter and grated hard cheese. As a naturally gluten-free grain, it provides a satisfying and wholesome alternative to mashed potatoes or pasta. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or preparing a quiet midweek meal, this reliable method ensures a perfect result every time.
