Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken)
2/3 cup finely ground polenta (cornmeal)
1 ounce soft mild goat cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herb (such as basil, thyme, rosemary)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until they begin to give off their aroma, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the stock and heat just to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta to avoid lumps from forming. Cook until the polenta is thick, 3-4 minutes. Add the cheese and cream and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Set aside.
  • In a small saute pan over high heat, cook the butter until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the herbs and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Stir the pan roasted herbs into the polenta and serve right away. Enjoy!
