Ingredients for the polenta in the pressure cooker:
- ½ cup cornmeal for the polenta
- 2.5 cups (tea) of boiling water or homemade vegetable broth
- 1 small garlic clove, peeled, whole (optional)
- olive oil, thread
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan
- salt
PRE-PREPARATION:
- The quantities suggested in the recipe are for serving the polenta as a second course.
- If you wish, prepare a homemade vegetable broth to enhance the flavours.
- Separate all recipe ingredients and utensils.
- If you have not bought the Parmesan already grated, grate it on the fine end of the grater.
PREPARATION:
Pressure Cooker Polenta:
- Wash and peel the garlic.
- Place the water or homemade vegetable stock in the pressure cooker, drizzle with the olive oil, add the garlic (optional) and bring to a boil over high heat.
- When it starts to heat up (the first balls begin to appear) add the salt and lower the heat to medium.
- Continue to incorporate the cornmeal, letting it fall slowly on the water or broth, stirring constantly, preferably with a wire whisk, to avoid lumps.
- When the polenta cornmeal is fully incorporated, close the pan and turn the heat up to high.
- As soon as the pan starts beeping, turn the heat down again and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, carefully remove the pressure and open the pan.
- Discard the garlic.
- If desired, blend a little more over low heat.
- Add the butter and grated Parmesan and mix well with the wire whisk to incorporate and the polenta is creamy with a smooth texture.
- Adjust the salt.
FINISHING AND ASSEMBLY:
- serve the polenta prepared in a pressure cooker immediately, so that it does not lose its creaminess, accompanied by a stew of meat, vegetables or mushrooms.
