Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hi Christie, Just wondering if you made the polenta or maybe I missed your post. I know you were going to try making some.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 I'm ashamed to say that I'm still feeling too intimidated by it, but I saw your Italian Polenta Lasagna recipe and decided that I really must cook it tonight. I got put off by a friend on Friday who told me that the readymade polenta is no good. However, I shall never know unless I try it for myself. I shall grill it and eat it with some fresh pasta sauce. If I really don't like it I can always have something else. I don't know why it has become such a big issue. Thank you for the prompt!

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 LOL Christie, I bought a tube and thought what planet did this weird looking stuff fall off of. I tried it plain and didn't care for it. Once I doctored it up with the sauce, herbs and spices then I loved it. I have a feeling you are going to enjoy any of the posted recipes a lot.

CHristie - comparatively, readymade polenta isn't that great... making your own is always better. But, if you grill it, and use some strong flavors on it (pasta sauce with garlic? :-)), it's fine. But next time you see medium-grind cornmeal, or corn grits, or uncooked polenta (however you see it in your stores), pick some up and try it - it's easy to make! Plus, then you'll get to eat it soft (fresh cooked, texture like cream of wheat or a little thicker),and refrigerated/set up, to grill, bake whatever (which is the only option for teh premade stuff).

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Thanks to your encouragement I had polenta for dinner! I tried grilling it and nothing seemed to be happening so I fried it in olive oil which made it a bit too greasy - anyway I smothered it in fresh tomato and herb sauce with extra garlic and it was ok. Tomorrow I shall try one of the other suggestions. I shall definitely make my own next time as the packet is rather large and I shall probably be eating it for the rest of the week. Also the ready made seemed a bit salty for my taste , although, to be honest, mostly it tasted of the Patagonian purple garlic I added to my sauce which would overpower anything.
