Rich and Creamy Polenta Recipe

June 8, 2018 //  by cullyskitchen_at6e8q//  Leave a Comment

polenta

I have only eaten polenta a couple of times and I will have to say I was not very impressed. I was planning on preparing an Instant Pot recipe and it recommended serving the dish with polenta, so I decided to give it a try. My wife and I both were pretty impressed with this Polenta; it was outstanding. It does take a little time, but it is well worth the effort; we will be sure to make it again.
