CREAMY POLENTA WITH PARMESAN AND SAUSAGE
Polenta is such a natural base for so many savory foods - more flavorful than either pasta or mashed potatoes, but somehow just as forgiving - that it's hard to pick a favorite topping. Having said that, I know what mine is: sausage. The fatty succulence of a banger combined with the lean graininess of the cornmeal is somehow perfect.

Steps:
- Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, put cornmeal in a medium saucepan along with 1 cup water and whisk well to make a slurry; continue whisking mixture to eliminate any lumps. Put pan over medium-high heat, sprinkle with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, whisking frequently and adding water as needed to keep mixture loose and free of lumps, between 3 and 4 more cups. If mixture becomes too thick, simply add a bit more water; consistency should be similar to sour cream's.
- Polenta will be done in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on grind. Add cheese and butter. Taste and add salt, if necessary, and lots of pepper; serve topped with sausages.

CREAMY POLENTA WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE
Steps:
- Bring the milk and 2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add the andouille and spread out into a single layer. Cook until browned on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Use tongs to flip the sausage pieces and cook until browned on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a medium bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Add the bell pepper and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Add a drizzle more of oil if the pan seems too dry.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Add the tomatoes and cook, without moving, until the tomatoes are browned on their bottoms and the skins on some are starting to burst, about 2 minutes; add a drizzle of oil if the pan seems too dry. Shake the skillet from side to side several times to turn the tomatoes and cook, shaking the pan frequently to keep the tomatoes moving, until the skins on all of the tomatoes have burst, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the tomatoes to the same bowl as the bell pepper, then season with salt and pepper and stir gently to combine.
- By this time, the milk and water should have come to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the polenta, and a pinch of salt and pepper then continue whisking until the polenta has thickened and just pulls from the sides of the saucepan, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter and Cheddar until melted, about 1 minute. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed. If you would like the polenta looser, whisk in 1/4 to 1/2 cup warm water.
- Divide the polenta among 4 bowls and top with the andouille sausage, bell pepper and tomatoes. Garnish with the scallions and serve with hot sauce on the side.
CREAMY SLOW-COOKER POLENTA WITH SAUSAGES
The key to creamy polenta is a relatively high ratio of liquid to dried polenta: about five to one, instead of the more standard four to one. But the more liquid you use, the longer it will take the polenta to absorb it. That's why the best polenta is made in a slow cooker, where the dried corn can gently hydrate all day, with no stirring or worrying about clumps or molten splatters. In this recipe, the polenta is cooked with marinara (which is part of the liquid) and roasted red peppers. Then it's topped with quick-roasted sausages and sizzled capers and pepperoncini. If you are feeding spice-adverse kids, leave off the pepperoncini.

Steps:
- Whisk together the polenta, roasted red peppers, marinara, garlic, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Whisk in 5 1/2 cups of water. Cook on low for 6 hours. (The polenta will keep very well on warm.)
- About 10 or 15 minutes before you want to eat, heat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly coat an oven-safe skillet with olive oil, and roast the sausages in the skillet in the oven until sizzling and browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet and put it over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Add a little more oil if the pan is relatively dry. Add the capers and pepperoncini to the hot skillet with the sausages, and let the capers pop, 1 or 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Stir the Parmesan into the polenta. The polenta will continue to firm up as it cools; stir in a few tablespoons of water if you would like it to be looser. Serve the polenta in shallow bowls topped with sausages, capers and pepperoncini. Pass more Parmesan at the table.

Steps:
- Prepare the sundried tomato pesto:.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add sun dried tomatoes, garlic, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Process until smooth, combined and paste-like.
- For polenta:.
- In a large saucepan bring 1/2 cup water, milk, and butter to a rapid simmer over medium high heat. Add in prepared polenta and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook stirring constantly until polenta is softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree until creamy. Stir in fontina cheese, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Cover and keep warm, stirring from time to time.
- Meanwhile, cook sausage and kale:.
- Heat a splash of oil in a large, deep-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausage and season with paprika, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Drizzle with maple syrup. Cook until browned, using the edge of the spatula to break into crumbles, about 5 to 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium (add a splash of oil if the pan is dry) and add the diced onion. Cook until onions begin to color, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add the kale and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is tender and soft, about 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer kale to plate with sausage. Tent gently with aluminum foil.
- Poach the eggs:.
- Fill a medium pot with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat until it is barely simmering (180 to 190 degrees). Break egg into a small bowl and transfer to a fine mesh strainer. Carefully swirl the egg around the strainer to remove any excess whites. Tip the strainer into the water and add the egg. Swirl gently with a wooden spoon for a few seconds. Repeat straining and add with remaining whites. Cook, swirling water occasionally, until egg whites are set but yolks are soft, 4 1/2 minutes for runny yolks or 5 1/2 minutes for set yolks. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon to a plate.
- Assemble the bowls:.
- Divide polenta between serving bowls. Top with sausage, sauteed kale, and a poached egg. Finish with sundried tomato pesto.
