Cheesy Polenta - Week 39, 2016

This thermomix cheesy polenta, is such a versatile dish!  You can use other herbs like Rosemary or Basil.  You can stir through chopped up sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or feta cheese, etc.  It can be served as is using a big spoon to scoop up, a little like mashed potato so it's nice served with something saucy.

Or you could allow it to cool and set and cut it into squares or fingers.  These can be pan-fried or oven baked so that they crunch up on the outside.  Baked cheesy polenta 'chips' are great to make if you have leftovers the next night.

So many ways to "dress it up" if you feel the need to do something fancy or just leave as is for a great accompaniment to your dinner protein.
