Polenta is a creamy corn porridge. It is made with cornmeal, salt, cheese, butter, water, salt, pepper, and dill. This corn porridge is really easy to make, the texture is creamy, silky, and smooth. So delicate!
Can I add milk?
Yes, absolutely, you can add half water, and half milk.
What kind of cheese can I use for creamy polenta?
Mozzarella cheese is a good neutral option. This cheese doesnβt have a strong flavor which helps to form a perfect texture of the corn polenta. You can add feta cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, gouda cheese, or cottage cheese, too.
What to do if the polenta is too dense?
Add a little bit of water and whisk it again. Milk will also work great.
