Ingredients

1 cup sorghum grits (coarse ground)
4 cups water or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring water or broth and salt to a boil.

Remove from heat and stir in butter (or oil) and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve warm.

For a creamier polenta, add an extra 1/2 cup water or milk.
Leftover polenta can be poured into a dish, chilled, sliced, and pan-fried.
Top with sautéed mushrooms or ragu for a hearty meal.
