A simple and delicious way to prepare polenta using your microwave, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Combine the yellow cornmeal, filtered water, and fine salt in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Ensure the bowl is large enough to prevent overflow during cooking.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 5 minutes, then stir thoroughly to prevent lumps.
Stirring is crucial to achieve a smooth texture.
Repeat microwaving in 5-minute intervals, stirring after each, until the polenta reaches a creamy consistency, approximately 20 minutes total.
Adjust the cooking time based on your microwave's power.
Stir in the fresh rosemary and thyme, and optionally, the grated Parmesan cheese.
Adding the herbs at the end preserves their fresh flavor.
Serve the polenta warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
