Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Once the water is boiling, slowly pour in the cornmeal while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
-
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the mixture reaches a thick and smooth consistency.
-
Add the butter and salt to the polenta, stirring well to incorporate the flavors.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If desired, you can also add a bit more butter for a richer taste.
-
Transfer the polenta to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
For added flavor and presentation, you can sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the hot polenta and let it melt slightly. Alternatively, drizzle with a bit of coconut milk for a tropical twist or sprinkle with chopped chives for a fresh touch.
-
Serve the Angu Brazilian Polenta warm as a side dish to complement your favorite Brazilian mains or enjoy it on its own as a cozy and satisfying meal.
