This made a lovely creamy polenta. I'd reduce the salt next time. Perhaps my Parmigiano was particulary salty.
Slow Cooker Polenta - 28g Carbs, 2g Fiber
Recipe By:
Serving Size: 6
Preparation Time :0:00
Categories: Low Cal (Less than 300 cal) - Lower Carbs - Veggie
1 1/2 cups coarsely ground cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 cups broth -- chik'n or veg
2 1/2 cups whole milk
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
In the insert of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the cornmeal, salt, broth, and milk. Cover the slow cooker and cook on High for 2 hours.
Uncover the slow cooker and stir in the butter and cheese. Recover the
slow cooker and cook the polenta for another 45 mins to 1 hour. Serve the polenta immediately, or keep it on the warm setting for up to 1 hour.
Makes 6 servings
Author Note: emerging from the slow cooker creamy and smooth, without any stirring, this polenta recipe is a miracle for many cooks who love this dish. I like to serve it with sauteed greens like Swiss chard, or as a bed for beef stews or pork ragu.
