Ingredients

  • 1 butternut
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 320 g polenta
  • 4 cups milk
  • 40 g Woolworths hard cheese, grated

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Thinly slice the butternut, with the skin and seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, season, then arrange on a baking tray with the unpeeled garlic cloves. Roast for 15–20 minutes, or until golden.

Place the polenta and milk in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring, until the polenta is smooth. Season to taste.

Stir in the grated hard cheese and sprinkle over more when serving.
