Simply use a 4 to 1 ratio
4 parts liquid to 1 part polenta and 1 teaspoon salt,
Liquid can be 4 parts water, or 3 parts water and 1 part milk or 2 parts water 1 part milk and 1 part cream, depending on how you like the texture of your polenta

Hi Devon, I’m sorry you were disappointed with the olive oil flavor! Feel free to substitute butter in the future.

This recipe could’ve been great but the olive oil is SO overwhelming, I’m kicking myself for not using butter instead, which I now remember I have with past recipes. I have never had polenta in my life that tasted so strongly of olive oil – super disappointing. Otherwise the technique recommended is great.

Worked perfectly, recommend this recipe if you have a fine-ish ground corn meal

I’m 62 and have never eaten polenta, grew up eating grits. Well I quit eating them years ago. It was suggested to me to try polenta, I bought bobs red mill a few months ago. Putting it off thinking it would take to long to cook. I’m so glad I used this recipe, it was perfect! The package directions used 3 cups of water, no way would that have worked, I actually use a bit more than the 4.5 cups. But they’re great, I have the leftovers in a dish, I want fries tomorrow. Thank you!

I didn’t blend my cornmeal and it turned out great. Creamy with little bits of soft cornmeal. Served it with sausages sauted with peppers,onions, mushrooms,kalamata olives, chili flakes, oregano garlic and a bit of chicken broth to make a sauce.
