SIDE ESSENTIALS: POLENTA WITH THREE CHEESES

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.
