Ingredients

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cups chicken stock

1 1/4 cups cornmeal

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Salt and freshly ground pepper

6 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish

In a medium saucepan, saute garlic in oil for 1 minute. Add stock; bring to a boil.

Sprinkle cornmeal in while stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir constantly, over low heat, until polenta begins to pull away from sides of pan, 10 to 15 minutes.

Add cream and butter; stir until incorporated. Stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
