Soft Polenta with Leeks
Soft Polenta with Leeks
(Polenta con Porri)
 
 
Ingredients:
 
3 tablespoons butter
3 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
2 and 1/4 cups (or more) water
2 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 cup polenta (Italian cornmeal)

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano cheese
 
Directions:
 
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat.

Add leeks; stir to coat.

Cover and cook until leeks soften, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Add 2 and 1/4 cups water, broth and bay leaf.

Bring to boil.

Gradually whisk in polenta.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until mixture is thick and creamy, stirring often and thinning with more water if necessary, about 35 minutes.

Remove pan from heat. Discard bay leaf.

Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter and Parmigiano cheese.

Season polenta to taste with salt and pepper.

Divide polenta among plates. Serves 4.
