Savory Polenta - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 quart chicken stock
1 cup coarse ground cornmeal
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 ounces parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In large, oven-safe saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the red onion and salt. Saute until onions begin to turn translucent.
Reduce heat to low & add the garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes, making sure garlic does not burn.
Turn the heat up to high & add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil.
Gradually add the cornmeal while continually whisking.
Cover the saucepan and place in the oven.
Cook for 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent lumps.
Once the mixture is creamy, remove from the oven and add the butter, salt, and pepper.
Add the parmesan.
Serve.
