👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring water to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer.

Pour in polenta steadily, stirring constantly.

Continue to stir until polenta is thickened.

It should come away from sides of the pan, and be able to support a spoon.

This can take anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes.

Pour polenta onto a wooden cutting board, let stand for a few minutes.
