This easy recipe for polenta with corn and thyme pairs sweet corn with creamy polenta and the fresh taste of thyme for a side dish brimming with flavor!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup fine cornmeal
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped, plus extra for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring the milk and water to a boil in medium pot. Pour the cornmeal into the pot, whisking briskly as you go. Whisk it all up until it is smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in the corn, butter and cheese and stir for one more minute. Give it a taste and add salt and pepper if you think  it needs it. Stir in the thyme and serve it up!

Notes

    • Cornmeal: You can find this in various places in your supermarket – sometimes in the international aisle, sometimes in the baking aisle – one way or another, it’s there! Sometimes it is literally labeled as polenta, but usually it’s called fine cornmeal.

    • Corn: Fresh corn is AMAZING in this recipe, but you can use thawed frozen corn in a pinch.

    • Thyme: This delightful herb can be found in the produce section, but feel free to swap it out for basil or fresh oregano.
