Fresh Ground Polenta Porridge

• Grind 1 C dent corn to a course ground meal

• Add the ground dent corn to 3 Cups boiling water.

• Add 1 teaspoon salt

Boil on medium heat, stirring often, until water has been absorbed. About 15 minutes. (If your grind is a bit course, expect longer cooking time). Once you’ve got the thickness you like, remove from heat, stir in 2T organic butter & 1/2 cup grated cheese. Stir to blend. Salt to taste.
