    This was very good. I'm always happy to make polenta without the need for heavy dairy (other than butter!)...and we certainly didn't miss milk/cream here. I made the corn topping as directed but because we were spooning a saucy beef braise over top, I just stirred it in. I used pecorino cheese (other suggestion = parm) and we do love the pops of (this time frozen) corn in polenta/grits.
