YIELD 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

POLENTA (whisk as needed to avoid clumps while cooking):
1/2 cup cornmeal
2.25 cups water
1/4 tsp salt

SEASONING:
1 tbsp unsalted butter
fine-grated Parmesan

PREPARATION

1. In a large suacepan over medium-high heat, bring POLENTA to a high simmer. Turn down heat and whisk as needed until mixture thickens — 40+ minutes. (When cooked, should be soft enough to stir and pull gently away from the edges.)
