Slow Cooked Polenta with Cherry Tomatoes

We love recipes that require little effort, but yield maximum results, and our slow cooked polenta with cherry tomatoes is one of those recipes. Slow cooking at a low temperature yields creamy soft polenta and makes the cherry tomatoes tender, sweet, and jammy. Grate a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes for a savory, umami-rich finish.

3) After the polenta has finished cooking, remove from your Suvie and whisk in butter (if polenta still seems too thick, whisk in up to ½ cup hot water, 1 tbsp at a time).

Are both zones supposed to be “slow cook – low” for 4 hours? (The instructions just address the bottom zone, and do not specify which zone should have tomatoes, and which zone should have polenta.)
