Italian Polenta

Ingredients:
2 Tab olive oil
3/4 Cup red onion (most times I use a white onion)
2 cloves garlic
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup polenta
3 Tab butter
1 1/2 tea salt (I use the coarse salt)
1/4 tea pepper
2 oz. parmesan cheese
Parsley

Directions:
*Pre-heat oven to 350
*On high heat, place a big skillet on the stove, add olive oil
*Add onions and salt
*Reduce heat and add garlic – sauté
*Turn heat back on high – add broth until boiling
*Gradually ad the polenta and stir

*Place into oven with a lid on
*Every 10 minutes, stir polenta
*Keep stirring every 10 minutes for 40 minutes
*After 40 minutes, take out and add butter, pepper, parmesan cheese and parsley

Side notes:
*Most of the ingredients I add to taste. For instance, I add more garlic and butter and cheese...
*Also, after the polenta has cooked for 40 minutes, it may still be runny. Let sit for a while before serving and it should set up to a more dense consistency.
