Am I missing something? I made a variation from this recipe from Michael Symon's book Carnivore last night. When I slowly added the 2 cups of polenta to the 4 cups of liquid, it seized up into a mess. Most other polenta recipes I have seen call for a ratio of 3.5 to 4 cups of liquid for every 1 cup of polenta. Did I do something wrong with this one or is the quantity of polenta wrong in this recipe?
