Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
-
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sweet potatoes from the broth and transfer them to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little bit of the broth if needed to reach your desired consistency.
-
Pour the sweet potato puree back into the pot with the remaining broth. Bring it back to a simmer.
-
Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until the polenta is thick and creamy.
-
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and butter to the pot, stirring until the cheese is melted and the butter is fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Once the polenta is cooked to your liking and has a smooth consistency, remove it from the heat.
-
Serve the Sweet Potato Polenta warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
