6 Ideas For Dinner Tonight: Polenta

Delicious polenta recipes for a hearty meal

Jan 20, 2013 3:01 pm

Polenta: it's what's for dinner. If you're a fan of cheese, you just found your favorite new way to enjoy it. Like shrimp and grits? They really should have taught you this in school, but polenta and grits are more or less the same thing. Stretch our that stirring wrist so you don't pull a carpal-hammie and apologize to mashed potatoes and rice some other time. Here are our 6 favorite polenta recipes (plus dessert!)

We're big fans of Uchi, well worth a trip to Austin by itself. But, you know, get tacos and stuff too. Ready to put some effort into one of the best desserts we've ever tasted? These folks cook methodically (for good reason), so break out that scale and get ready to show your sweet tooth a little love.

Now That's Italian

Polenta requires a lot of attention, exceptional ingredients and decent upper-body strength, but when it's done right, few things in a dish are as satisfying. We selected Manuela Darling-Gansser's recipe from her new cookbook because it's one of the cheesier versions we've seen. Read on for the recipe.

Vegetarian guests deserve more than a dry old veggie burger from the freezer, so why not make something to make everyone’s mouth water, even the die-hard carnivores? Take the goat cheese from the fridge a good hour before you use it for the best creamy texture.

Few things are prettier than a puffed soufflé emerging from the oven. Race to the table so each guest can take in the glorious grits suspended in aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. For this dish, I like to grate the cheese on the small holes of a box grater.

Coffee-Braised Short Ribs Recipe

A deeply flavorful twist on short ribs

Mar 7, 2012 6:01 pm

What happens when a chef and his coffee-geek friend get into the craft coffee-roasting business? Well, for one, you end up with some pretty choice beans – in particular, excellent blends, which makes for a refreshing change from all the single-origin coffee everyone else seems fixated on.

Gluten-Free Pizza Is Not OK, Except…

Sampling polenta crust and living to talk about it

Feb 20, 2012 2:01 pm

Whether made with rice flour or some other gluten-free mixture of sorghum and quinoa, gluten-free pie never turns out quite right – dry and tough and bland, as opposed to chewy and crisp, with that salty, yeasty tang to die for. But there is one exception to the rule—polenta-crust pizza.
