Cornmeal Pudding Polenta Recipes

Steps:

• Sift together flour and cornmeal.
• Blend together sugar, salt, nutmeg, mixed spice and coconut milk. Add to the cornmeal mixture, stirring until there are no lumps. Pour into a greased pan.
• Coat raisins with a little flour and sprinkle into mixture. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top. Dot generously with butter or margarine. Bake in a moderately-hot oven 350F for 15 minutes or until set.
• Combine all ingredients for the custard, and pour it on top of the cornmeal pudding. Bake for another 30 to 45 minutesr or until set. Cool and serve.

Steps:

• 1) In a large saucepan, add the water, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. 2) Lower the heat to medium. Using a heavy wooden spoon, stir in polenta a little at a time, always stirring in the same direction. When all the polenta has been stirred, mixture should start to thicken. 3) Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to stir vigorously and constantly in the same direction for about seven minutes. 4) Remove from the heat, add the butter and the Romano cheese, and blend thoroughly. 5)Lightly coat a work surface with the olive oil. Pour the polenta over area and spread evenly to 1/2 in thick and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Alternatives: Add 1/2 c of cheve(goat cheese) and 2 tbsp of heavy cream in place of Romano cheese. For richer, add 1/3 c of mascarpone along with butter and romano cheese.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, put 31/2 cups milk. Add molasses and sugar, and stir; when they are incorporated, turn heat to low. Heat oven to 300 degrees.
• Slowly sprinkle cornmeal over warm milk mixture, stirring or whisking all the while; break up any lumps. When mixture thickens after 10 minutes or so, stir in all remaining ingredients, except for the remaining milk, and turn off heat.
• Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish or similar size gratin dish and turn warm mixture into it; top with remaining 1/2 cup milk; do not stir. Bake 21/2 to 3 hours, or until pudding is set. Serve warm, cold or at room temperature. Wrapped well and refrigerated, this keeps for several days.

Steps:

• Bring the broth, 2 1/2 cups water, butter and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a heavy, large saucepan over high heat. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Continue to whisk until the polenta begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the polenta is very thick and tender, stirring often with a flat-bottom spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to prevent sticking or burning, about 20 minutes. Blend the corn in a mini processor until a coarse puree forms. Stir the corn puree into the polenta. Season with more salt if desired.
