Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over high heat.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Using a larger pot than you think you need will help prevent boil-overs.
- 2
Once boiling, slowly whisk in the fine cornmeal, a little at a time, to prevent lumps.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Pouring the cornmeal in a steady, thin stream while whisking continuously is key for a smooth polenta.
- 3
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Aproximativ 20 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stirring every 5 minutes or so will ensure a creamy texture and prevent the bottom from burning.
- 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salt, black pepper, nutritional yeast (if using), and vegan butter (if using).
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy, and vegan butter enhances creaminess.
- 5
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve immediately as a soft, creamy side.
Nota bucătarului: For a firmer polenta, pour it into a shallow dish, let it cool completely, then cut into desired shapes and bake or grill.
