Polenta Cakes

Ingredients:

2 cups whole milk

2 cups water

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup Artisan Milling Company polenta

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Bring water, milk and salt to a boil; reduce the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the polenta until smooth; continue whisking for 5 minutes until creamy.

Spread polenta in a 9” x 9” baking dish. Set aside to cool and firm. Once cooled, cut polenta into squares or use a 3” round cookie cutter for circles. 

Melt butter and olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium low heat.  Carefully transfer the individual polenta pieces to the heated skillet. Cook until lightly browned and crusty on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until light brown.

Transfer to a plate, add your desired topping and enjoy!
