Creamy Polenta


Description:
Since Filipinos are rice eaters, most of our dishes are best eaten with rice. But for a diabetic, starch from rice turns into sugar. Hence, Mier has to cut down on his rice. An alternative would be corn grits, which isn't really very appealing --- unless you make it so. :-) Here I made it creamy and tasty that it's almost like a mushroom risotto. :-)

Ingredients:
3 cups water
1 cup corn grits
all-purpose cream
grated cheese
butter
salt and pepper
sliced mushroom

Directions:
1. Bring the water to the boil in a sauce pan over high heat. Use a wire balloon whisk to stir the water. Gradually add the polenta whisking constantly until all the polenta is incorporated into the water.

2. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and the polenta is soft.

3. Add the cream, cheese, butter and mushrooms and stir until well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

4. Perfect side dish for anything. :-)
