Recipe Review

I don’t think I’ve ever cooked anything in my microwave but the promise of a 14-minute polenta certainly made me want to try. It worked!

There was no mention of the type/power of the microwave that was used in developing this recipe so I approached the cooking times with caution – glad I did because the polenta was done in 10 minutes.

The resulting polenta was not as creamy as stovetop (but I may have overcooked it by a minute or so) and I think it would have benefited from being stirred earlier in the process, or perhaps just more vigorously, as it ended up with a few lumps in it. I intended to chill it and grill it so these things weren’t too important to me. I added some grated parmesan and fresh thyme to it before chilling and served the grilled polenta with this mushroom dish.

Really very good for a 10 minute time investment.
