Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 small onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups Anson Mills polenta
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.

  2. Slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thick, about 2 hours (adjust the consistency with water or stock, if necessary).
