Instructions for Creamy Polenta Recipe - Savory Cornmeal Porridge

To begin making the Creamy Polenta Recipe, heat a saucepan with the olive oil and the butter on medium flame.

Next add the milk and water and bring this mixture to a brisk boil.

Once the polenta has begun to boil, reduce the flame, and gradually add the polenta, mixing continuously.

Mix well and ensure while cooking there are not lumps formed. It is important while cooking we keep stirring it a little until it has thickened.

Once the polenta begins to thicken, cover and cook for 4-6 minutes, until the polenta is well cooked and fully swelled up. The polenta will thicken as it cools down, so it is a good idea for it to have more liquid and because easier to serve and eat as well.

Sprinkle some salt and pepper and serve the polenta hot.
