Polenta


Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Polenta style ground cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Organic California Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Olive Oil
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes 
  • Additional Garlic Olive Oil for finishing 

 

Directions

Bring 4 cups of lightly salted water to a boil in a medium sauce pot. Gradually add in 1 cup of polenta (cornmeal), and reduce heat to medium. 

While polenta is cooking, add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, fresh ground black pepper to taste and the star of the show: 1 tablespoon of Organic California Koroneiki EVOO and two teaspoons of Garlic Olive Oil.

Reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally for approximately  20-25 minutes to create a smooth, creamy consistency. 

When finished cooking, ladle into bowls and and for the finishing touch, drizzle a bit of Garlic EVOO on top, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (I used Marash Red Pepper flakes). If you don’t have Marash, normal red pepper flakes will be wonderful.
