Amazing Baked Polenta Umami Sensation

Dear Turkey,

Especially if
You're vegetarian, this
Is a magic dish


Amazing Baked Polenta Umami Sensation
(serves 4-6, adapted from here)

Ingredients:
- 2 T butter
- 4 c veggie broth (I used Better than Bouillon which is a nice dark broth for maximum umami)
- 1 c cornmeal (I used Bob's Red Mill -- I recommend a fine-ish ground)
- 1 t salt
- 2 T heavy cream
- 1/4 c grated cheese (I used parm)
- olive oil, more cheese, and parsley, for garnish 

Instructions:
- Generously butter a baking dish or oven-safe pan.
- In another pot, bring the broth to a boil and add the cornmeal and salt. Simmer, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes, or until the polenta starts to get thick. Turn of heat and add butter, cream, and cheese. Stir to combine and make sure everything is nice and melted. Pour into the prepared pan and cover and chill at least an hour (if you have time), or up to 24 hours. 
- Sprinkle more cheese on top and bake at 425 F for 25 minutes. Finish under the broiler. Top with olive oil, parsley, and more cheese. 

Enjoy,
Tofu

  1. I am usually enticed by what you post, but the last 3 weeks have been.... not as enticing. WAY too many peanut flavors involved. And now polenta umami? Hmmmmm. #questionablechefchoices
