Subject: does anyone like polenta???? I have a good recipe.

I was just talking to Faye and she was asking me for some new recipe's and I thought I would post my polenta recipe, polenta is sooooo good and it's inexpensive and healthy. it's made of corn meal.
the best kind is made by golden pheasant and it comes in a big bag.

so it's 4 cups of liqued to 1 cup of polenta, serves around 4-5 people.

first bring to a boil 2 cans of chicken broth
1 cup of milk
1/2 of lemon fresh, squeezed into it, I like heavy lemon so I use a whole but it's up to you.
1 cup of water.
salt for flavor
2 tablesppons of butter or olive oil, I like the butter better.
bring to boil, not a high boil, sort of mild boil.

than lower to a simmer.

SLOWLY add your polenta in mixing it in slowly to avoid clumping, you don't want it to clump, so add slowly while your stirring continually.

once you have added all your polenta, keep the heat to a simmer and continue to stir, you want to have it creamy not lumpy. do not cover.

as it start's to thicken, add more water, add it sparingly and make sure it's not to thick, it takes 20 minutes to cook so you need to keep it sort of moist, so you will be adding water throughout the process.

the way you tell when it's done is when it moves easily away from the sides of the pan, keep stirring the entire time... once it moves away from the sides, it is done, it needs to be served right away. it is great with chicken, with fish, steak or just by itself. I eat it cold to, yesterday I ate it for lunch, dinner and breakfast, I am the polenta queen....... i had not made it in a month since my surgery:) it is just so yummy. the firsr few times I made it, it was lumpy so don't give up. I use a wooden spoon and a tall pot, not a frying pan type......


I hope you all enjoy this, we love it over here!
you can also add things like rosemary, garlic, sun dried tomatoe, parmesean, and mushrooms, lot's of neat stuff, but I prefer my recipe.
