Creamy Brie Polenta

 Print Friendly Version

For this recipe, we felt like going the sweet and savory route, so we mixed in brie to make it creamy and slightly sweet. The scallions brought out the savory, earthy flavor of the corn. You can pair this southern side with our Shrimp Pesto.

Ingredients:

• 2 cup water
• 2 cup low sodium chicken stock
• 1 cup coarse corn meal
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 cup brie, cut into cubes
• 2 scallions, chopped
• salt and pepper

Directions:

Combine water with chicken stock in a pot and lightly season with salt, bring to a boil over high heat. Quickly whisk in polenta until fully incorporated. Lower the heat to a low simmer. Add in butter, scallions (save some for garnish), salt and pepper. Continue to whisk until the polenta becomes thick. Cook at a low simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Finish by stirring in the brie. Stir together until the polenta becomes creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra scallions.
