Course Couscous and Polenta
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 4 teaspoons Butter
  • 4 teaspoons Oil
  • 1 Onion small
  • 1 cup Corn Kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup Polenta
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ¼ cup Milk

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop the onions; set aside.
  • Heat the oil along with half the butter in a frying pan. Add the onions, and sauté just until they start to brown. Add the corn, and continue sautéing just until it too starts to brown.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Put 5 cups (2 pints / 1 ¼ litres) of water in a largish pot, salt it lightly and bring it to a boil. Pour the polenta in in a stream, stirring all the while. When it's all in, lower the heat down to a medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from the heat. Add in the milk, cheese, remaining butter, and half the corn mixture. Stir all this in, and season to taste.
  • Serve in dollops as a side, garnished with some of the remaining corn mixture.

Notes

1 cup of uncooked Polenta is 6 oz / 175 g.
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese is 2 ounces/50 g of cheese.
