SOFT PARMESAN POLENTA WITH ROAST BALSAMIC VEGETABLES
Polenta often takes the place of pasta, even bread, in the north of Italy. It can be served soft, as here, or allowed to set, then grilled, baked or fried. You could also serve this polenta with poached eggs and chargrilled asparagus, mixed pan-fried mushrooms or as a side for osso bucco or a lamb shank casserole.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 220C. Preheat one large or two regular baking trays in the oven for 30 minutes. 2. Place the onion, capsicum, zucchini, pumpkin and garlic in a bowl. Drizzle with the oil, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat. Remove the trays from the oven and quickly add the vegetables. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelised. 3. Meanwhile, bring 1 litre salted water to the boil in a large saucepan. Add the polenta in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, until smooth. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, or for as long as specified in the packet instructions, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Stir in the parmesan and butter until smooth and season well. 4. Drizzle the hot vegetables with the balsamic glaze, sprinkle with the basil and gently toss to coat. 5. Serve the soft polenta with the roast vegetables.
ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH POLENTA
In this comforting, perfect winter dinner I roast the vegetables and make the polenta in the oven at the same time. To accommodate the temperature requirements of each element of the dish, I use a slightly higher temperature than I usually use for polenta and I roast the vegetables at a lower temperature for longer. I top the polenta with a ladleful of marinara sauce, and spoon the vegetables on top. You could serve the polenta with only the roasted vegetables as well, so I have made the marinara sauce optional.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a sheet pan or a baking dish with parchment or foil. Toss vegetables with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh herbs if using. Spread vegetables in an even layer.
- Combine polenta, water, and salt in a 2-quart baking dish and stir together. Place polenta and vegetables in the oven. If you can't fit both pans on the same (middle) rack, place vegetables on a lower rack. Roast vegetables for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or until soft and beginning to caramelize. Remove from the oven.
- If serving this with marinara sauce, make the sauce while the vegetables and polenta are in the oven.
- Continue to bake the polenta until it has been in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes and has absorbed the water. Remove from oven and stir in butter. Use a fork or a spatula to stir the polenta well, and return to oven for 5 to 10 more minutes. Remove from oven and stir again. Carefully taste a little bit of the polenta; if it is not completely soft, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes.
- Remove polenta from oven and stir in 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, if using. Immediately spoon polenta onto plates and make a depression in the middle. Ladle on some marinara sauce and top with a generous spoonful of roasted vegetables. Sprinkle on remaining Parmesan and serve.

SOFT PARMESAN POLENTA
Steps:
- In a medium-size saucepan, bring the milk, 2 cups water and bay leaf to a boil. Season generously with salt, almost to the point of over seasoning. How do you know that you are there? TASTE IT! When it has reached a boil, slowly whisk in the polenta in small sprinkles. Once all of the polenta has been incorporated, reduce the heat to medium and immediately switch over to stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook the polenta until it begins to pull away from the pan, adding water to loosen it up if it becomes too thick.
- When the polenta is thoroughly cooked, it should look creamy and not feel gritty on your tongue. Remove it from the heat and stir in the Parmesan and mascarpone.
CREAMY PARMESAN POLENTA
Steps:
- Place the chicken stock in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium-high heat until the stock comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and very slowly whisk in the cornmeal, whisking constantly to make sure there are no lumps. Switch to a wooden spoon, add the salt and pepper, and simmer, stirring almost constantly, for 10 minutes, until thick. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan thoroughly while you're stirring. Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, creme fraiche, and butter. Taste for seasonings and serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.
ROASTED POLENTA WITH GARDEN VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Make the Polenta: Bring the chicken stock, butter, pepper, and salt to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot. While whisking the hot stock in a quick circular motion, "rain" in the polenta by letting it stream through your fingers. (This will prevent lumping.)
- Reduce the polenta to a gentle simmer; it must be stirred constantly for 25 to 35 minutes to prevent lumps or scorching. Be very careful when stirring, the mixture is very hot (think lava) and can burn you if it boils and sputters. If it begins to boil cover the pot and reduce the heat until boiling stops!
- The polenta is cooked when it is no longer grainy and has become creamy. (My grandmother says good polenta takes 30 minutes, great polenta takes 1 hour).
- Stir in the Parmesan and basil and pour onto a buttered sheet pan to cool. When cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut the polenta into any shape you desire that's structurally sound. In other words, a shape that won't fall apart on the grill easily, or be difficult to remove from the sheet pan after roasting. Squares, triangles, stars etc.
- Make the Marinade and Vegetables: Whisk together the vinegar and garlic. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the vegetables with the marinade.
- When ready to serve, preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
- Brush the polenta lightly on both sides with olive oil and grill, turning once, until the edges are brown and crispy.
- At the same time grill the vegetables until they are tender but still firm.
- Pile the vegetables on top of the polenta, then stand back and wait for the applause!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Heat a large Dutch oven or roasting pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until the bacon is brown and the fat is rendered, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Leave the pot on the heat.
- Season the roast on all sides with the salt and pepper. Add the roast to the bacon fat remaining in the pan and sear on all sides until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the roast from the pan and set aside. Add the onions to the pan and cook until wilted and fragrant, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are soft and are beginning to color, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaf and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 45 seconds. Add the beer, beef stock, tomatoes and their juices, and the roast to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot tightly, place in the oven, and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
- Carefully remove the roast from the oven and add the carrots, parsnips and turnips. Turn the meat, basting with the pan juices. Cover tightly and return to the oven. Bake until the meat shreds easily and the vegetables are tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending upon the size of the meat.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf. Remove the roast from the pan and let sit on a cutting board until cool enough to handle. Using two forks or a knife and form, shred the meat.
- Skim the fat from the pan juices and discard. Return the meat to the pan, add the parsley, and stir well.
- To serve, spoon the polenta into wide entree bowls and spoon the pot roast, vegetables, and gravy on top.

BAKED POLENTA AND ROASTED VEGETABLES
I love recipes to get ideas on how flavors go together. Much to my family's dismay, I hardly ever follow them. I saw something like this in our local paper but didn't want mushy polenta. I always have a fridge full of leftovers and this was created with what I had on hand. It has a few short cuts- like buying pre-made polenta but you can make your own. Experiment with other veggies, cheeses, spices... Enjoy! I salted the eggplant then reconstituted the polenta and put it in the oven before prepping the rest of the veggies. This give the eggplant time to weep and to bake the polenta. And to have a glass of wine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- POLENTA:.
- cut up the polenta and put it in pot on the stove with the milk (or water) over medium to re-constitute into mush. The polenta should return to a mush-like consistency- you can use a potato masher to help it. Mix in a 1/2 cup of parmesan. Spread the polenta on a buttered 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
- VEGGIES:.
- Salt the eggplant on both sides and let sit for 20 minutes on paper towels, then wipe the salt off and cube the eggplant.
- Put the zucchini, mushrooms, onion and eggplant in a large bowl and mix with salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until the veggies are al dente.
- FINISHING.
- Drizzle the spaghetti sauce on top of the polenta.
- Spread the roasted veggies on top of the drizzled polenta.
- Sprinkle the parmesan and mozzarella on top of the veggies.
- Place under the broiler to melt the cheese- serve!

Steps:
- To make the crisps, turn the oven down to 200C/ 180C fan/ gas mark 6. Season the grated Parmesan with a large pinch of black pepper and scatter evenly over a baking tray covered with a silicone sheet or lightly oiled greaseproof paper and bake for 5 minutes, until golden but not browned. After cooling for five minutes, break into crisp pieces with your fingers.
- Turn the oven up to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Toss the squash and beetroot chunks in the lemon juice and oil, season lightly with salt and pepper, and bake in a roasting tin for 20 minutes. Add the onion wedges and continue to bake for a further 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile bring a litre of water, salt and half the butter to a simmer in a large pot, then slowly add the polenta in a fine stream, stirring all the time. Continue to simmer over a low heat for 35 minutes (or according to the instructions if using quick cook polenta), stirring often to prevent it sticking to the bottom. The polenta should be thickened but still soft at this point. If it starts to dry out too much, add a cup of water. When cooked, stir through the rest of the butter, the Parmesan and Taleggio and a pinch of white pepper.
- To serve, spoon the polenta over a board or onto plates, scatter over the vegetables and any roasting juices, then the rocket and thyme. Tuck the parmesan crisps in between the veg, and eat hot.
