The polenta is cooked in a mixture of water and milk, which gives it a rich and creamy texture. It can be served as a base for stews, braised meats, or roasted vegetables. Reheating creamy polenta is easy and can be done on the stovetop or in the microwave. Just add a little water or milk to loosen it up and heat until warmed through.
