HERBED CHEESE POLENTA
"This is the Italian version of mashed potatoes - we serve it with every kind of roast or sauteed meat or poultry. Herbs are a great way to make polenta look and taste upscale."
9 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
2 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal or polenta
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups whole milk
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Bring the water to a boil in a large, heavy pot. Add the salt. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and the cornmeal is tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Add the cheese, milk, butter, herbs, and pepper. Stir until the butter and cheese melt.
Transfer the polenta to a bowl and serve.
Makes 8-10 servings
