Golden Cake and Saffron Polenta (Mush)
A rich and flavorful saffron-infused polenta mixed with blended corn kernels, perfect as a side dish for any meal.
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, cover, and cook 5 minutes (do not brown).
-
Add broth, salt, and saffron to the onion mixture. Bring to a boil.
-
Whisk in polenta. Cook, whisking constantly, until polenta boils and starts to thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Reduce heat to low. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Cover and simmer until polenta is cooked through and very thick, stirring with a flat-bottom spoon, about 10 minutes longer.
-
Meanwhile, blend corn kernels in a processor until a coarse purée forms. Mix into the polenta. Season with pepper and additional salt to taste.
