Why I Love This Recipe
When I wanted to make polenta, I decided to make Green Chili Polenta. The last time I bought a tube of polenta I remembered that I had previously made polenta at home. However, I just made it like grits – it was incredibly thick but I ate it. After opening the store bought polenta and seeing it wet (yuck) I knew I’d never buy a tube of polenta again.
Regardless of your stance on store bought tube polenta, I think everyone should try making polenta at least once. Polenta is customizable – try adding other peppers or even tomatoes to the pot while it cooks. It firms up so well that it can handle some additional add-ins. I truly love experimenting with polenta flavors.
Using only 4 ingredients, my green chili polenta is easy to make, and cheaper than buying premade from the store. Next I’ll share some of my favorite polenta add-ins.
