For some, polenta is a “comfort food.” I enjoy it as a base for roasted or stir-fried vegetables, or as a side dish. I leave out cheese to make it vegan (although you can add some grated parmesan cheeze, if desired). Polenta is delicious--if you like corn!

 

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups rice milk
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (approximately 4 cloves)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp McKays mock chicken seasoning
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

 

Preparation:

 

Place ingredients in blender and whiz until smooth.
Pour mixture into top portion of a double boiler over boiling water.

Whisk in 1 cup finely ground polenta being careful to avoid lumps.
Bring mixture to a boil.
Simmer until it thickens, stirring the entire time.

Add:

  • 1 tsp parsley
  • ¼ tsp thyme
  • ¼ tsp rosemary

 

Cover and continue to steep for 45-60 minutes.

Serving Suggestions:

  1. Spoon some into a shallow soup-bowl. Add roasted or stir-fried veggies and serve.
  2. Spoon some into a little bowl for a side-dish and serve.
  3. Pour into a loaf pan and allow to cool. Refrigerate a few hours until solid. Remove from loaf pan and slice in 1/2 to 3/4 inch slices. Braise in a hot skillet that has been sprayed or rubbed with olive oil. Brown lightly on both sides and serve.
