Polenta


I make Polenta very often recently. Why? A) it's so easy to make, B) super delish, and C) I just can't say no to Italian food.  


Ingredients:Polenta, fresh rosemary, garlic, olive oil, sea salt, unsweetened soy milk, strawberry mango salsa (totally optional)

Polenta (fancy corn grits)

Diced garlic and fresh rosemary

Mix liquids, garlic and rosemary, turn the heat to low and stir the Polenta to a slow boil

The consistency will get thicker and creamier as it heats up

Keep turning and stirring until it gets really really thick (it takes about 8-10 minutes)

Turn off the heat and pour the Polenta into a baking dish

Let cool for about 20-30 minutes, then do whatever you want with it

Here I made them in small cubes and garnished them with mango strawberry salsa

Aren't they just exquisite and delicate?

Note: the traditional way of making Polenta is adding lots of cheese and cream. I think it's way too heavy so I deliberately got rid off cheese and sub'd unsweetened soy milk. I also added lots of garlic and rosemary, because why the hell not!?
