Polenta is one of my all time favorites! If you have not tried it, now is the time. If you don't know what polenta is, it is ground cornmeal and very similar to grits. This is the kind that I like to buy, http://www.bobsredmill.com/corn-grits_polenta.html. Just adding water to the polenta is not tasty, so don't try that, but you should try this.....http://joythebaker.com/2013/01/baked-polenta-with-tomato-and-basil/. Not only was the polenta delicious, but so was the tomato sauce. The combination of the two melted in my mouth! I am planning on using that recipe again for sure.
This polenta dish was SO good and SO easy. I made it when I was home alone with the baby and pretty much ate the whole thing, but decided it would be better if I had some for leftovers. I've always made polenta on the stove top, so I was really glad to find a recipe where you can bake it instead.
I also really enjoy Ina Garten's take on polenta and have made this delicious recipe as well, http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/creamy-parmesan-polenta-recipe/index.html. I skipped the creme fraiche, but maybe would add it next time.
Come and join my love for polenta and try one (or both) of these dishes! Enjoy!
P.S. I seemed to have misplaced the picture I have taken of this dish. I think it got mixed in with all of the baby pictures I have been taking :)
