Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (210 g) coarse ground polenta
- 6 tablespoons (88 g) butter, divided
- 4 cups (946 ml) whole milk
- 8 ounces (227g) Parmesan, grated
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Fill and preheat the SousVide Supreme water bath to 190F/87C.
- Put the polenta, butter and milk into a cooking pouch and seal using the water displacement method (Archimedes’ Principle).
- Submerge the pouch and cook for 2 to 2 ½ hours.
- Remove the pouch from the water oven and pour immediately into a large bowl with the Parmesan cheese. Toss together and season with salt and pepper.
- If not ready to use immediately, keep warm in the pouch in the water oven.
- Alternatively, you can pour the polenta into a greased loaf pan, refrigerate until firm, and slice. Then reheat, by frying the slices in butter on a hot skillet.
