This recipe is for the polenta novice. Two ingredients - polenta and water. So if you can boil water...you can make a delicious pot of polenta every time!

Butternut Squash and Barley Risotto

Recipe by: moonpig

Well given food prices are rocketing I tried using barley instead of Arborio rice. It was a success, filling, healthy and still really yummy! NOTE: This is very filling and quite rich in flavour. So I sometimes serve half portions with some nice green beans or other summer Veg/green salad. It keeps in the refrigerator great in an air tight container or ziplock bag. It tastes great the next day cold or re-heated and so we take the leftovers for filling lunch at work.

Shop bought polenta with an easy sauce. We prefer a spicy Italian sausage to give it some more kick, but you can also use regular sausage. This will serve 4 to 6 people.

Tuscan-style baked polenta

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Polenta is the much loved ‘mashed potatoes’ of northern Italy, a delicious comfort food to many Italians that is now enjoyed around the world. In this recipe, Parmesan-flavoured ‘soft’ polenta – polenta that hasn't been left to set – provides the topping for a mixture of borlotti beans and a creamy wild mushroom sauce.
