Soft Polenta With Roasted Herbs

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken)
• 2/3 cup finely ground polenta (cornmeal)
• 1 ounce soft mild goat cheese
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• salt and pepper
• 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herb (such as basil, thyme, rosemary)

1. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over high heat until very hot. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until they begin to give off their aroma, 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the stock and heat just to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta to avoid lumps from forming. Cook until the polenta is thick, 3-4 minutes. Add the cheese and cream and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Set aside.
3. In a small saute pan over high heat, cook the butter until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the herbs and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Stir the pan roasted herbs into the polenta and serve right away. Enjoy!
