Creamy Polenta Recipes

This simple and delicious appetizer is very festive--red and green for the holidays.

I don't know a kid who doesn't love the combo of cheese and barbecue sauce. This dish is a swap on mac-n-cheese and BBQ chicken that's quick and grown-up approved.

Nice change from oatmeal

This is a low cal and quick sidedish. A great alternative to Mashed potatoes!

Use as a base to pile on chicken stew, roasted vegetables, sauteed mushrooms or whatever your imagination cooks up

From America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. Can be served with Sauteéd Mushrooms with Shallots and Thyme, Grilled Vegetables, or any other Slow-cooked Ragu of your choice.

Serve topped with Italian Sausage Sauce, or Asparagus and a Poached egg.

Creamy polenta from adapted SimplyRecipes.com. I've also used quick-cook polenta just skip with 30 minute simmer.

This is a Mollie Katzen recipe, from "The Vegetable Dishes I Can't Live Without." But don't treat it like a wallflower -- let your vegetables take center stage!

This makes a great main dish, with chicken sausages, baked tofu, or pork loin as the side dish.

Not entirely vegetarian, as we used chicken broth, but that can be substituted for vegetable broth.

This is really good, filling and fast.

From Cook's Illustrated (April 2010)

An easy, delicious side dish!

Goes well with most meats. I usually serve with chicken or fish. I love to use my pressure cooker to cook chicken thighs, strip the meat off the bones after cooked and add the meat to the polenta. I have not figured in the meat for this recipe. Quick and really tasty.

The only hard thing about this is making sure to stick with your portion size!

Recipe from Women's Health

Twice cooked polenta makes delicious wedges that are easy to portion.

No more standing at the stove, stirring the polenta until you arm falls off!
