This cheese polenta is a versatile side dish that works great with pork, chicken, beef, or fish. The trick is to slowly add the cornmeal and whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

Ingredients

  • whole milk: 2 cups
  • water: 2 cups
  • ½ teaspoons kosher salt: 1 piece
  • polenta or yellow cornmeal: 1 cup
  • unsalted butter: 4 Tbsp
  • black pepper: 0.5 tsp (freshly ground)
  • ounces sharp Cheddar cheese: 4 piece (shredded)

  1. Combine milk, water, and kosher salt in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Gradually whisk polenta into boiling milk-water mixture. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until creamy, about 20 minutes, lifting the lid and stirring every 3 to 4 minutes to prevent sticking.
