What to do with polenta?

[littleducks]

i must admit mn has got to my head, i bought a packet of quick and easy polenta a while back after seeing it mentioned on here but not sure what to do with it now.... i have some lovely veggie 'parmesan' from the farmers market now

or i have taken a liking to lemon polenta cake

you can make polenta cake - follow packet instruction then when it is solid, brush with olive oil and griddle it - will be yummy with roast veg and parmesan. Also you can use it to coat chicken breast etc

Watching this thread, I've never 'got' polenta, tried the whole grilling/frying thing, just end up with slightly crispy tasteless rubber. Probably nice in a lemony cake though, would assume it keeps well.

put it in the bin before it falls over in your cupboard and makes a mess.

Sorry - not very constructive but the best I can do!

upside down pear and polenta cake

I've never made it but someone bought it to a dinner party and it was SO delicious (she served it with stem ginger ice cream and a stem ginger syrupy sauce)

Polenta mash (use instead of potatoes)

Orange and polenta biscuits - ala Jamie Oliver. Perfedt to go along side chocolate mouse/pot type desserts.

I read this as "placenta" and was about to suggest Hugh Fearnley - Whittingstall's recipe

bf made me orange and polenta biscuits

they were delicious

they went with a chocolate pud he made

lol hula, snap!

Hulababy have ever actually tried your own polenta mash?

LOL, no never had polenta mash. Just saw it in a recipe book last week. It looked quite nice. Gather it isn't then?

Don't you deliver it with the baby ??

EUUUUUK horrible stuff could not contemplate even having the stuff packet or ready made in the house....
