Parmesan polenta, pretty please!


Yuuuummmmmmm.  This was the first time that I've made polenta--and honestly, I thought that I was making a type of bread.  Guess not! It was also my first time making green bean ragout, and let me tell you, it is not going to be the last.  Such a delicious hearty way to eat your greens.
Recipe adapted from the Fresh20.

Parmesan polenta with green bean ragout

Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
Cooking Directions
  1. Bring milk, water, and broth to a simmer in a medium sauce pot.
  2. Reduce heat to medium low and slowly pour in cornmeal while whisking. Stir often for about 20 minutes until thickened.
  3. Stir in cheese and pepper.

    1. Thank you!! So funny because a few years ago I never would have thought something this healthy was 'good'...but I love how my taste-buds have changed since I've started eating grown up foods!
