Making a Polenta Board for a Polenta Table Party | Polenta alla Spianatora

You have heard of cheese boards, charcuterie boards and even butter boards, but how about a polenta board? Creamy, rich polenta is poured on a surface and served with a variety of flavorful toppings for everyone to share.

Host like an Italian and throw a polenta table party.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
32 ounces (1 liter) chicken or vegetable stock
8 ounces (170 g) Yellow Corn Meal
1 tablespoon Butter
2 ounces (60 ml) Half & Half
2 ounces (56 g) Parmesan cheese shredded on a microplane
Salt & Pepper

Bring 24 ounces (700 ml) of stock to a boil. Combine remaining 8 ounces (240 ml) stock and cornmeal into a slurry. Slowly combine the cornmeal mixture into the boiling stock, whisking constantly.

Cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and add butter, half and half, and cheese. Whisk well to combine. Cut the heat and taste for seasoning, adding salt & pepper if needed. Allow to set for 2-3 minutes.

Pour polenta on the board, smoothing out as needed. Add desired toppings.

Topping ideas: meatballs & tomato sauce, sausage, grilled vegetables, mushroom ragout, various cheeses.
