COCONUT POLENTA RECIPE

Ingredients:

· 200g cornmeal

· 1 packet Maggi Coconut Milk Powder

· Fish stock

· Elle Vere Butter

· Elle vere cooking cream

· Sugar

Method

Place 1 cup of stock in a saucepan which is on a low heat and whisk in the cornmeal. Continue to whisk and gradually add more stock and a little butter. Taste for salt. Add most of the coconut milk powder reserving about 2 tablespoons to make a sauce. Continue to cook and add stock for about 5 – 7 minutes, whisking regularly, until the polenta is cooked and creamy. Taste again for seasoning and add a few tablespoons of sugar to taste (this is to enhance the coconut flavor, and at this time a touch of cinnamon or clove could also be added), also add a little butter and cooking cream to taste.

Sauce

In a small bowl, mix about ½ a cup of the remaining stock with the 2 tablespoons of coconut milk powder. This sauce is to be poured over the polenta during plating to keep it creamy.

· 1 medium sized cucumber, chopped

· ½ a lemon juice

· 1 tbsp chopped dill

· 1 medium sized onion, finely chopped

· Crushed red pepper to taste

· Salt to taste

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and adjust the seasoning.
