Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Prepare 3 cups Polenta the usual way.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

When it is ready, add 1 cup Mont d'or cheese in pieces. The best way is to take spoonfuls straight from the box.

There is no need to leave the rind of the Mont d'Or. Also, scraping everything around the edge next to the spruce band adds to the woody flavour.

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Cover and leave to rest for 10 minutes.

Stage 4

By the end of this time, the Mont d'Or will have started to melt...

Stage 5 - 3 min.

...so put back on medium heat and mix the polenta with a whisk or wooden spatula until the cheese is fully mixed in.

Check the seasoning.

Stage 6

Your polenta with Mont d'Or is ready. Serve on its own or to go with meat, for example.

Remarks

The quantity of Mont d'Or is for guidance, so do adapt this (a little more or less) to suit your taste.

Keeping

2 or 3 days in the fridge in a sealed container.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
