Ingredients:
1 lemon |
1 bunch fresh thyme leaves |
3 carrots, cleaned and cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds |
4 cups water |
1 cup polenta (quick cooking, i.e. finely ground) |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Quarter lemon and remove seeds. Finely chop thyme leaves and place with lemon in medium saucepan. Add carrots and water, bring to a boil and cook until reduced to 3-1/2 cups. Pour in polenta in a thin stream, whisking constantly, and then cook, switching to a wooden spoon as polenta thickens, about 5 minutes. Check for seasoning and serve immediately as an accompaniment to lamb shanks with artichokes and olives.
