Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb polenta
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the polenta dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the polenta, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
