Method

Grate the cheese

Finely grate the Parmesan Cheese if it is not already grated, and keep it nearby for the finish.

Cook the polenta

In a saucepan, combine the Water, Whole Milk, and fine sea salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in the Coarse Yellow Polenta in a thin stream so it stays smooth, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring often and scraping the bottom and corners of the pan, until the polenta is thick, creamy, and the grains are tender.

Finish and serve

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the Unsalted Butter until melted, then fold in the grated Parmesan until the polenta looks glossy and spoonable. Taste and adjust the salt if needed, then spoon into warm bowls and serve right away.
