This is a wonderful recipe from one of our local supporters.

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 cup polenta
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 2/3 cup grated Smoked (or Sharp) Redwood Hill Goat Milk Cheddar
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan or other grating cheese
• 3 ounces butter  
   

Instructions   

1. Add salt to boiling water. Slowly add polenta while whisking. Continue to whisk until polenta starts to thicken. Add butter and black pepper.
2. When the polenta is very thick add the cheeses. The polenta should be very thick and pull away from the sides of the pot. Add any more salt or pepper if necessary.
3. In a buttered mold or pan spread the polenta. Cool until set.
4. Cut polenta into desired sizes or shapes.
5. Grill or bake until warmed through.
