3种与玉米粥制作粥的甜美和咸味的方法

Oatmeal seems to have a lock on breakfast, but something about having oatmeal for dinner feels a bit sad. Enter polenta porridge; this creamy, corn-based dish comes together in mere moments and can be zhuzhed up for breakfast, lunch or dinner with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand.

GET SOME POLENTA

There are a few ways to purchase polenta. It’s often found in an instant form (with a grain texture similar to cream of wheat), as a pre-cooked log that’s ready to be sliced, or as raw corn grits. In this latter preparation, you’ll find several different grinds; as a general rule, the more coarse, the longer it takes to cook.

No matter what form you find at your market, you can make polenta porridge. The only difference is cooking times. Instant porridge comes together by stirring with boiling liquid. The pre-cooked log can be sliced and added to a saucepan with your favorite flavorful liquid, and it takes just a bit longer. Polenta grains (also called corn grits) take a bit longer, but not nearly as long as a whole-grain, such as barley or farro. See your package directions for precise cooking times.

COOK IT TO YOUR LIKING

No matter what type of polenta you have, you can make it as creamy and thick (or watery and thin) as you like. I love making mine with broth or water, then adding the “creamy agents” at the end. This technique prevents your polenta from turning to cement and keeps it more porridge-like. Cook your polenta according to package directions and remove from the heat just before it achieves your ultimate creamy texture (it sets up a bit as it cools).

THEN GET CREATIVE …

MIX IT WITH MAPLE AND PECANS FOR BREAKFAST

Cook your polenta to your desired texture with water and a bit of salt, then remove it from the heat. Add 2–3 tablespoons of your favorite milk per serving, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, a pinch of sea salt, and 3 tablespoons of your favorite granola or toasted, chopped pecans. Stir and enjoy.

CREAM IT UP WITH CACIO E PEPE

用水或肉汤和少许海盐煮玉米粥,然后将其从火上移开。搅拌1盎司新鲜粉碎的帕尔玛干酪和1/2汤匙酥油或每份份黄油,再加上黑胡椒粉。旋转以混合并享用。

SPIN IT TO SAVORY WITH SPINACH AND EGGS

用水或肉汤和捏海盐煮玉米粥。在达到完美的质地之前,请添加1个切碎的菠菜,再加上1汤匙Bragg的液体Aminos和1茶匙枫糖浆。将盛入碗中,上面撒上炸或煮的鸡蛋,切碎的葱和香菜,如果您愿意的话,另一个布拉格的飞溅,然后享受。
