For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken or vegetable stock in place of water. If the polenta becomes too thick, add a little more milk or water to reach your desired consistency. To make ahead, spread the cooked polenta into a greased baking dish. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate. Cut into shapes and pan-fry or bake before serving. Experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for a unique flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
Prepare the Corn: Grill the corn in their husks until charred, or roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until tender, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels from the cobs.
02
Step
5 mins
Sauté Aromatics: In a heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
03
Step
30 mins
Cook the Polenta: Stir in the water and milk, and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, ensuring no lumps form. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
04
Step
15 mins
Finish and Serve: Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the polenta is thick and creamy. Stir in the roasted corn kernels, chopped fresh sage, and grated Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
