Instant Pot® Polenta

Polenta, a staple of Northern Italian cuisine, is traditionally made by adding cornmeal to boiling salted water and stirring with a wooden spoon until your biceps aches! You can achieve the same results by letting your Instant Pot® do all of the work for you! We like to serve this topped with browned Italian sausage and pork ribs that have simmered in a sauce made with onions, garlic, basil and tomato sauce until the ribs are falling off the bone-tender! Serve with additional cheese, if desired. Delizioso!

Step: 1

Whisk water, polenta, and salt together in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Close and lock the lid. Select Porridge setting according to manufacturer’s instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.

Step: 2

Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer’s instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add butter and cream. Whisk until polenta is smooth and lump-free. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheeses and whisk until melted and well combined.
