8 Servings
7 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups yellow polenta, preferably coarse-ground
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Measure the water, polenta, and salt into the crock of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- Stir well, turn the slow cooker to high, and let cook for 1 hour.
- Stir again, turn the slow cooker to low, and let cook an additional 4-6 hours, stirring once or twice if it’s convenient.
- When the polenta is thick and creamy, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese.
- Turn the slow cooker to warm; the polenta will stay creamy for several hours.
Note: If the polenta gets too thick, stir in a little water.
If there are leftovers, pour them into a buttered loaf pan, cover, and refrigerate. To serve, slice and fry in butter
