Author Notes

Easy to make 15 minute polenta recipe with only 5 ingredients. It's so creamy and delicious on it's own, but works as a beautiful base for more complex dishes. Serve it breakfast style with a fried egg and sautéed baby spinach; pizza style with tomato sauce, garlic broccoli rabe, and spicy sausage; healthy southern style with pan-fried chicken and sautéed collard greens; steakhouse style with grilled asparagus and juicy sirloin topped with caramelized onions. —B

Not great.
It's missing elements and the mil seems overwhelming.
