Polenta

Ingrediencie

700 grams chicken stock or vegetable stock

2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced

10 grams kosher salt

300 grams polenta , Moretti brand

300 grams whole milk

150 grams unsalted butter, cubed

Extra virgin olive oil, to finish

Postup

1

Combine the stock, garlic, and kosher salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour in the polenta in a stream and cook over low heat, whisking often, for 17 to 20 minutes, until the polenta is quite dry and coats the bottom of the pan. The moisture must evaporate, because it will be replaced with fat; otherwise, the texture could be gummy.

2

Meanwhile, warm the milk in a small saucepan. Increase the heat under the polenta to medium and stir in butter.

3

Add the milk about one quarter at a time, letting the polenta absorb it each time before adding more. Season to taste with kosher salt if needed. Adjust butter as needed.
