What Is Polenta? / How to Make Cheesy Creamy Polenta Recipe

[msrkoehler]

So Emmy's Organics, a company who's website speaks negatively of eating animals for many reasons, go and sponsors a site with a recipe who's third ingredient is CHICKEN stock? I find the fact that a vegan touting website would sponsor a recipe with chicken of any kind in it to be a bit hypocritical and now not as impressed with them as I was. I wonder if they even know what they sponsored.

Let's Be Honest. Polenta=Yellow Grits. *Oh no....I hear an Italian Grandma coming for my head.*

I love polenta and I haven't made it in a long time. So after watching this video in the morning I went to my kitchen and made the most amazing polenta with caramelized onions and a poached egg breakfast. So I guess thanks for making my day much better:)

[danieldelaney]

@Babanyul1 HELL YES! so happy you did that. Next time, take a picture and send it to me.

What would you suggest eating with this? :) I'm sure it would match with many recipes, but off the top of your head? Looks amazing :D

[ginginjenny]

@tokyoxjapanxfan Bolognaise sauce!

[danieldelaney]

@tokyoxjapanxfan I like it against a protein, beef, pork, fish. You can braised pulled pork with a little stock and herbs, and it would be awesome.

"Who doesn't love cheese?" I don't and I knot plenty of people who don't lol btw, I think you should have covered the difference between polenta and grits. both are corn, both can be cook similarly.

[danieldelaney]

@mickysantos Good call!

[TigersPrettyBunny]

Mmmmm, rosemary and cracked black pepper polenta.....

Maybe try a cajun segment and do Crawfish Etouffee, Beignets, or Grillades & Grits. Mmmmm. Nothing beats crawfish etouffee except maybe crab au gratin (even better when you go catch them yourself! :D ).

[danieldelaney]

@TigersPrettyBunny Yum! I'll be in New Orleans in a few days, and hope to do some episodes there.

[PlatypusGuitar]

are grits and polenta the same thing?

[tiffbott41]

@PlatypusGuitar thats what i was thinking!

[TigersPrettyBunny]

@PlatypusGuitar Basically. When it's warm and loose it's grits, when it cools and congeals it's polenta

[orithia7]
