Ready In
- Stir together the stock, milk, water, polenta, and ¼ teaspoon each of the salt and pepper in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW until the liquid is absorbed and the polenta is soft, 3 to 4 hours, stirring every hour. Add the grated Parmesan and butter, stirring to combine. Cover and let stand until serving.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Stir together the tomatoes, olive oil, and remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the tomatoes are soft and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Place the charred tomatoes and juices in a bowl; add the basil and vinegar, stirring gently to combine. Divide the polenta among 4 bowls; top with the tomato mixture, watercress, and shaved Parmesan.
