Ingredients

4servings

3 1/2 cups (830 ml) chicken or vegetable stock
3/4 cup (120 g) uncooked polenta or yellow grits
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 cup (115 g) shredded cheddar
3 tbsp (45 g) unsalted butter

Method

Stir the stock, polenta, salt, cheddar and butter together in the base of the Tupperware Microwave Pressure Cooker.
Lock the cover and microwave on high power (1000 W) for 10 minutes. Leave to stand for about 10 minutes, until the pressure has released and the valve indicator is down.
Open the cooker, stir the polenta well and season with salt and pepper.
Leave to stand for 10 minutes more so it firms slightly, then serve warm.
