Ingredients

4 servings

For the polenta

4 cups water
1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal (polenta-style coarse grind)
2 tbsp butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
Chef's tip
Choose a vegan parmesan in the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving or melting.
¼ tsp black pepper

For the balsamic maple glaze

¼ cup balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp pure maple syrup

For serving

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 4 cups of water and the salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low. While whisking constantly, pour the cornmeal into the boiling water in a slow, steady stream to prevent lumps from forming.
