Steg för steg
- 1
Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over high heat.
Cirka 5 min
Kockens tips: 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.
Cirka 2 min
Kockens tips: 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.
Cirka 20 min
Kockens tips: 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).
Cirka 1 min
Kockens tips: The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy, and vegan butter enhances creaminess.

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve immediately as a soft, creamy side.
Kockens tips: For a firmer polenta, pour it into a shallow dish, let it cool completely, then cut into desired shapes and bake or grill.
