Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

14 ounces low sodium vegetable broth -- or 1 3/4 cups homemade

1 1/4 cups water

3/4 cup quick-cooking polenta

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

3/4 cup already-shredded Parmesan cheese -- (3 ounces)

 

In a medium stockpot, bring the broth and water to a boil over high heat,

preferably on a back burner as the polenta sputters. Slowly add the polenta,

stirring constantly with a long handled wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium

and add the oil, salt, and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture

is the consistency of cream of wheat, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and

immediately add the cheese, stirring until thoroughly combined.

 

If serving as a first-course soup, ladle equal portions into soup bowls and

serve at once. If serving as a side dish, let stand, uncovered, about 5 minutes,

stirring occasionally, until mixture is the consistency of mashed potatoes.

Transfer to a warm serving bowl and serve at once.

 

Makes 6 servings.

" Depending on its consistency, this rustic, porridgelike dish can be served as a

side dish in lieu of mashed potatoes or as an unusual first-course soup. Either

way, it's delicious. Vegan soy Parmesan cheese substitutes are definitely not

recommended here. "
