Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
3/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup walnuts, toasted, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
8 walnut halves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Butter 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Bring broth to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in corn meal. Reduce heat to medium and whisk constantly until mixture thickens, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter; stir until cheese melts. Stir in chopped walnuts and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer polenta to prepared dish; using buttered knife, spread evenly. Cool until polenta is firm, at least 1 hour.

    Step 2

    Line baking sheet with foil. Cut polenta into 8 wedges. Transfer wedges, bottom side up, to prepared sheet. Dot wedges with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Place 1 walnut half in center of each wedge. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)

    Step 3

    Preheat oven to 350?F. Bake polenta until heated through, about 12 minutes.
