Ingredients
- 2 cups raw organic hazelnuts
- 9 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 cups white polenta
- 1 stick unsalted butter
Directions
Heat oven to 325° F. Toast the hazelnuts for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Remove skins by placing them in a metal strainer and then stirring them vigorously with a metal spoon. Once the nuts are completely cool, pulse them into a medium-fine meal in a food processor, taking care not to turn them into hazelnut butter.
Bring water to a rapid boil in a large saucepan, add salt. Slowly add in dry polenta whisking the entire time. Continue stirring until the polenta thickens up, and turn the heat to low. After simmering for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, the polenta should become rather thick. Beat in the ground hazelnuts until fully incorporated.
Continue to simmer on very low heat, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
Cut butter into chunks, and beat into polenta until fully incorporated. Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed.
