Total time: 35 mins


Ingredients
  • 250 g polenta
  • 800 g tender sheep or cow cheese
  • 1.3 litre water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • salt
Cooking method
  1. Coarsely grate the cheese. Finely chop the parsley.
  2. Place a large pot of water over high heat. When the water comes to boil add salt and olive oil and reduce heat to medium. Stirring water constantly with a wooden spatula or whisk, add polenta. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until polenta begins to separate from the bottom and sides of the pot and a crust forms on the sides.
  3. Add cheese and parsley, stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
My tips and tricks
If there is too much polenta, you can safely refrigerate it for 1-2 days. Before serving, place the polenta on low heat, add a little bit of hot water or milk and stir until the polenta has absorbed the liquid completely (about 5 minutes).
