Creamy Polenta Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup stone-ground polenta*
4 to 4 1/2 cups water, divided
2 TBSPs extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 TSP sea salt, more to taste

Recipe Instructions:

In a blender, pulse the dry polenta to make the granules less coarse.
This gives the polenta a creamy texture and helps it cook faster.
Remove from the blender and run your hands through the dry polenta to make sure there aren't any lumps.
In a medium pot, bring 3 cups of water to a high simmer.
Slowly whisk in the polenta.
Add 1 more cup of water and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
If your polenta is very thick, whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup water.
The polenta should be creamy.
Turn off the heat and whisk in the olive oil and sea salt.
Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
Season to taste and serve hot.
