Method

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a pan and pour in the vegetable stock, bringing it to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Whisk in the fine polenta in a steady stream, whisking constantly to stop lumps forming.

  3. 3

    Cook over a low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until the polenta is thick and smooth.

  4. 4

    Stir in the mozzarella cheese, grated, a handful at a time, letting each addition melt completely before adding the next, until the mixture is stretchy and glossy.

  5. 5

    Spoon into bowls and eat straight away with a fork, pulling up the melted cheese as you go.
