¼ cup heavy cream
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1 3/4 tablespoons of heavy cream is low in lactose. This recipe contains only about 3 teaspoons per serving, making it likely fine on a lactose free diet. If you prefer to always avoid heavy cream, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup scallion greens, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tsp dried dill
½ tsp dried parsley
½ tsp garlic-infused oil
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add 1 tsp kosher salt.
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Slowly pour in the polenta in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
