Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Egg Free and vegan options!! And all in one pot!!
Makes a great side dish or you can make it your main meal!
There are many options when making this dish and the reason it’s quick is that I use instant polenta.
Instead of using corm meal and stirring for at least half an hour while cooking it in a pot, I now buy the pre cooked cornmeal. It also comes in a bag and looks exactly like the regular corn meal but on the bag or box it states that it cooks in one minute. Some other brands will say it cooks in two or three minutes...buy it. It’s instant.

Let’s begin with the ingredients needed for this dish.

You will need 3 cups of water, one cup of instant polenta and one tsp of salt or to taste. Very simple.
I am using water because I will be topping it with tomato sauce which will give it its flavour.
If you want to eat it plain without the sauce then you can replace the water with either vegetable or chicken broth for flavour. Salt to taste if your broth is salted.

Bring your water to a boil. Add salt. Remove pot from heat and whisk in your polenta.
Lower heat and return pot to heat. Continue whisking until thickened.
Be careful. It will splatter as it bubbles and may burn your hand as you stir.
Remove from heat as soon as it thickens. Add one tbsp of butter, margarine or vegan margarine and stir in about 3 Tbsps of grated Romano or Parmesan cheese. If you need it to be dairy free then add vegan cheese instead.
Top with a simple marinara sauce. I also added Italian sausages.
You can also top it with fava beans and leave out the meat. You have many options.
Creamy and delicious!! Enjoy!
