Preparation steps

1.
For the Polenta:
2.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
3.
Gradually whisk in the polenta, salt and nutmeg. Continue stirring until polenta boils again and then reduce heat to low. Cook the polenta, stirring occasionally, until it is no longer grainy, about 30 minutes.
4.
Whisk the oil into the polenta and remove it from heat. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk until incorporated.
5.
For the sprouts:
6.
Bring sprouts to boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and place sprouts in a 10 inch gratin dish, evenly distributed.
7.
Pour polenta mixture over the Brussels sprouts.
8.
Set under broiler until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
