Eat Well, Live Well Miso Polenta
Ingredients:
4¼ cups water
1 cup polenta
1 tablespoon miso paste, plus
2 teaspoons miso paste
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 green onions, chopped, to garnish (optional)
Sesame seeds, to garnish (optional)
Directions
1. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil.
2. Add polenta gradually and whisk until there are no lumps. Lower the heat to low and cook, uncovered, until the mixture thickens, about 20 to 25 minutes. It is important to stir the polenta every five minutes or so to ensure that the bottom of the pan does not burn.
3. Turn off the heat and add the miso, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Whisk to combine. Serve immediately and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, if using.
