Description
Thick, creamy and oh-so-yummy, this Low FODMAP Instant Pot Polenta not only tastes great but also only takes minutes to make! It’s naturally gluten-free and made from whole grain corn.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dry polenta // I use Bob Red Mill’s Corn Grits
- 4 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter // I use lightly salted
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
- 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives, optional
- Salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Select the “Saute” setting on the Instant Pot. Add polenta, water, and salt. Whisk until mixed. Bring mixture to a light simmer, about 5 minutes. Cancel the “Saute” setting.
- Whisk the polenta once more before placing the lid on top of Instant Pot. Secure lid and set the vent to “Sealing”.
- Select the “Manual” setting on the Instant Pot. Adjust time to 10 minutes on “High Pressure” and cook. It took my Instant Pot about 7-8 minutes to come to pressure before the cook time started counting down. After cooking, quick-release the pressure by carefully switching the vent to “Venting”. Remove the lid. The polenta may look watery. It will combine and thicken once stirred in the next step.
- Add butter and olive oil. Stir until the butter is melted and the polenta is creamy. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm topped with optional chives.
