This is an ancient recipe from the large and used recipe box that belonged to my mother. I have made this a thousand times, and I know she made it twice as much. Easy and can be served with anything!
Ingredients
1 ½ cup Corn Meal – Fine or course
1 cup cold water
3 ½ – 4 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon of salt
Cheese of any kind
Boil the water, add in the corn meal, add one cup of cold water and wait for it to come back to a boil. Reduce the heat and keep the polenta moving in the pot. The heat should be at a low boil. Cook and stir for ten minutes for fine ground cornmeal and twenty minutes for coarse ground. Take the pot off the heat and add the cheese. You can add any cheese you want! I have added everything from parmigiana to good old white american cheese! Use your cheese drawer on this one! Stir to combine and serve immediately. The polenta will firm up very quickly! If you think it’s too thick, add some boiling water and stir to combine. Salt to taste!!!
