Creamy Baked Polenta

Recipe from: Chef Kathleen Daeleman.

 

1 quart water

1 tsp. coarse grained salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

1 cup coarse ground polenta

1 TB butter

 

Preheat oven to 350º F.

 

Pour the water into a 1-1/2 quart baking dish. Add salt, pepper and polenta;

stir.

 

Add the butter.

 

Place dish on center oven rack and bake uncovered for 40 to 50 minutes,

stirring after 20 or 25 minutes.

 

Polenta is done when almost all the liquid has been absorbed.

 

Taste it. It it's cream and delicious, it's done. If it's granular and

unpleasant,

let it cook a little longer.

 

Makes: 4 to 6 servings.
