Hi Luane,

 

Yes, we could use some polenta recipes!!! ANYONE GOT 'EM?

 

I was the one who posted the Polenta Pie With Spinach recipe. If you can't find

it in the

Files (It's filed under Italian - a separate folder to the European and N.

American), it's here:

%20%2A%20%2A%20ITALIAN%20MAIN%20AND%20SIDE%20DISHES%20/

Polenta%20Pie%20With%20Spinach

 

But I'm afraid you'll have to cut and paste that url into your browser.

 

I don't see any other polenta recipes there, and a search of the archives has

only a very

few mentions - and no recipes.

 

So, OK, here's a challenge! POLENTA RECIPES PLEASE!

 

Love, Pat

Um...... I have many. I have Mastercook and have important whole

collections from time to time. Can you specify what you would like?

Tamale Pie

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

 

 

2 c water

 

1 c fine yellow corn meal (polenta)

 

dash salt

 

2 tsp chili powder

 

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (or about 1 1/2 c cooked dried

black beans)

 

optional along with beans – ½ - 1 cup of veggie burger bits

 

12 oz chunky salsa

 

1 diced jalapeno (or to taste)

 

1/2 tsp oregano

 

1/2 tsp cumin seeds, toasted and cracked (or just under 1/2 tsp ground

cumin)

 

1/2 tsp coriander seeds, toasted and cracked (or under 1/2 tsp ground

coriander)

 

2 small or 1 large carrot, chopped

 

 

 

Directions:

 

 

 

Prepare spices and then sautee carrots in oil or vinegar or whatever you

usually use, along with the spices.

 

Add the jalapeno and the beans, stirring and cooking about 3 min, then add

salsa and reduce heat to a

 

simmer.

 

 

 

While the bean mixture is simmering, bring 2c water to boil with dash of

salt. A little at a time,

 

sprinkle the corn meal into the boiling water, stirring constantly to avoid

lumps. Continue sprinkling and

 

stirring until you have a thick porridge resembling grits or cream of wheat

(yummv with the amount of

 

corn meal this takes -- don't force all the corn meal into the batter if it

looks done with less). Remove

 

batter from heat and stir in chili powder. The bean mixture should be just

about cooked now -- if

 

carrots are tender, remove bean mixture from heat.

 

 

 

Spread 1/2 the corn meal mixture into the bottom of a large loaf pan or

small baking dish. Spread all of

 

the bean mixture (or as much as reasonably fits in your pan) onto the corn

batter. Top with remaining

 

half of the batter, kind of like a top and bottom crust.

 

 

 

Bake at 400 f for 30 min or until the top corn meal batter is pretty firmly

set.

 

 

 

garnish, if desired, with fresh tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, hot sauce,

etc.
