With all the time you saved making the Instant Pot Braised Pot Roast, there is very little excuse not to do a decent side dish and garnish, isn’t that right?! You can make this creamy side in your Instant Pot, or you can prepare it stovetop.
Make the chicken stock for this recipe in your Instant Pot and save even more time.
Always make sure to use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!

This is NOT how to cook polenta. Do not use this recipe. The results will not be good.
You can add the water at the end.
Thanks for sharing, it’s always best to check and add more water as needed
you can’t exactly open the instant pot in the middle…….
Made this for shabbos, and did not come out creamy in an InstantPot. Needed to add more water.
