What to do with polenta?
I bought some polenta and haven't cooked it yet,and I've never had this stuff before,does anyone have any recipes or reccomendations on what I should eat with it?
Answers:
MY FAV! CREAMY POLENTA
8 cups water, divided
1 t. salt
2 cups polenta or cornmeal
3 T. nutritional yeast
2 T. Spectrum Spread non-hydrogenated margarine
In a large saucepan, place the water and bring to a boil. Add the salt and reduce the heat to medium. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining water and polenta. Slowly add the polenta mixture while whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and continue to cook while whisking for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally with a spoon, for 30-40 minutes or until very thick and smooth. Add the nutritional yeast and Spectrum Spread and stir well to combine. Taste and add additional salt, if needed. Transfer to a large platter or bowl for service. Serve the polenta with your favorite sauce or cooked vegetables.
Variation: Add your choice of chopped herbs to the polenta for extra flavor.
