Polenta

Preparation time: 90 minutes. Serves 4-6.

Ingredients

• 1 cup yellow corn meal
• 1 cup water
• 28 ounces chicken broth
• 1 Bermuda onion, diced
• 6-7 slices bacon
• Parmesan, grated cheese to taste
• Butter to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Cook bacon in a large frying pan. Add onion and cook until onion is soft and bacon is brown.

Combine corn meal and water in a sauce pan and bring to a slow boil. Incrementally add chicken broth and stir until all liquids are absorbed. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.

Pour polenta in a Pyrex dish. Add the rest of the bacon and onion mixture to decorate the top. Let cool, then cut into squares and serve.

TODO: Figure out how much of the onions and mushrooms to mix into the polenta and how much to leave back for garnish.
