Super Cheesy Polenta (Rice Cooker)
Super Cheesy Polenta (Rice Cooker)
I made this on 15 Feb 2018 and was very liked my wife and I, great flavor and a perfect side dish. This will be a regular now. I used my small rice cooker for this, a simple cook and warm model which is perfect for this.
Equipment
- Rice Cooker
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, plus more for serving
- ½ onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth, fresh or from powder
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup yellow cornmeal
- ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- ½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place butter, onion, and garlic in your rice cooker pot, set the cooker to Cook setting. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or so.
- Add chicken broth, milk, cornmeal, and salt, stir.
- Cover and cook one full cycle, stirring occasionally, until the cornmeal has absorbed the liquid, about 20 minutes.
- When the cooker switches to Warm, add cheeses and black pepper, stir until cheese is melted.
- Serve with a pat of butter on the top as a delicious side dish.
