Soft polenta goes well with any braise. The taleggio gives it a rich and distinctive flavour. If you're not a fan of smelly cheeses, leave it out - but it would be a terrible shame.

Ingredients

  • 250g polenta

  • 100g taleggio

  • freshly ground pepper

  2. Step 2

    Reduce the heat and cook for about 40 minutes at a gentle simmer, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon, until the grains are soft and no longer gritty.
