Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. You may not be familiar with Pecorino Romano, it a sharper alternative to the standard Parmigiano Reggiano. It is made from sheep's milk and has a salty bite to it. Its addition to this recipe, gives the polenta a bit more body, and helps it stand up to just about anything you throw at it... Like my ten-hour pulled pork.
- 3. You can sub half-and-half for the milk, but I did not think it added much to the recipe... except a lot of extra calories.
- 4. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- 5. Add the chicken stock, milk, and butter to a saucepan, over medium heat.
- 6. When the liquid begins to simmer, add the cornmeal., plus a pinch or two of salt and white pepper.
- 7. Whisk until the liquid has been absorbed into the cornmeal, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- 8. Chef's Note: If you want a thinner polenta, add a bit of stock and milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- 9. Take off the heat and stir in the three cheeses, until they lovingly melt into the polenta. Mmmmmm.
- 10. Chef's Note: Do a final tasting (salt/pepper) for proper seasoning.
- 11. PLATE/PRESENT
- 12. Polenta has so many yummy uses. In this photo, I have a plate of it topped with my ten-hour pulled pork. So yummy.
- 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

CHEESY POLENTA
This versatile side dish would work great along with pork, chicken, beef or fish. The trick is to slowly add the cornmeal and whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

BASIC CHEESE POLENTA
Why buy polenta in a box when you can make it from scratch cheaper? A great day-before dish. Once the polenta has been refrigerated serve it in a variety of different ways: sliced and fried--or serve it immediately as a mashed potato or rice substitute!

- Wrap cheese rinds together in cheesecloth; tie securely using kitchen twine. Place wrapped rinds and 6 cups water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, uncovered, until reduced to about 4 cups, about 30 minutes. Remove wrapped rinds; discard.
- While cheese mixture simmers, heat polenta in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until polenta is lightly toasted and smells nutty, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer polenta to a medium bowl; reserve 1 teaspoon polenta for garnish. Set aside.
- Return cheese-infused water to a boil over medium-high. Slowly add toasted polenta, whisking constantly to prevent clumping. Cook, whisking constantly, until polenta starts to thicken and bubble, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, whisking vigorously and scraping bottom of pan every 5 to 10 minutes, until polenta is thickened and tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour, whisking in up to 1/2 cup remaining water as needed to loosen. Whisk in salt.
- During final 10 minutes of polenta cook time, fill a small saucepan with water to a depth of 1 inch; bring to a simmer over medium. Stir together ricotta, Gorgonzola, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream in a medium-size heatproof bowl. Place bowl over simmering water, ensuring bottom of bowl does not touch water. Heat ricotta mixture, stirring often, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside, and let thicken slightly, 2 to 4 minutes, stirring in up to remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, as needed to thin sauce.
