Photo: Soft Polenta with Mascarpone Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 small onion, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups Anson Mills polenta
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thick, about 2 hours (adjust the consistency with water or stock, if necessary).
Remove from the heat and whisk in the mascarpone, parmesan and the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.

I had this at Valentine's day at his Lolita restaurant. IT was SOOOOOO good. So I had to see if it was posted. And I make it and loved it. It cooked quickly and I served it with a plum sherry pork chop. I even kept it warm in a small crockpot with just a bit more liquid.

While visiting Cleveland last week, we visited a winery near Canton, OH . . .They served mouth watering soft polenta with mascarpone . . .so my search began . . .and I found this one, which is even better than theirs. While cooking (and I used chicken broth, I did have to continue to add broth to keep the consistancy. It was not only delectable but pretty too . . .nice and glossy. My Italian husband kept "sampling" it . . .there was none left at the end of the meal! We can hardly wait to have it aain!
