1 cup coarse-ground polenta (not instant)
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 oz parmesan cheese, finely grated (about ¼ cup)
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
¾ tsp fine salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper

For the chimichurri

1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
3 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
¼ tsp fine salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For serving

2 tbsp scallion greens, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Make the chimichurri: combine the parsley, oregano, garlic-infused olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors develop while you cook the polenta.
2
Combine the water and milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
