I have been seeing polenta everywhere lately, which makes me curious. What exactly is polenta? and why should I eat it? So when I saw it on the menu at Taste of Saskatchewan I thought I might as well try it. Polenta, by the way, is a dish made from corn meal, not corn bread, more like a corn meal mush. Mom compares it to grits. So, off to the Cava Caffe tent to try Grilled Herbed Polenta with a Tuscan Ragu of fresh market vegetables. The sauce (that's the Tuscan Ragu stuff, who knew that was sauce?) on the polenta was spectacular, I really enjoyed it, and I would eat the polenta again. It tasted like less solid corn bread to me. I don't know if that's what it should taste like, but I enjoyed that anyway. Now that I have an idea of what polenta tastes like I can try out the recipes I have been hording.
Gloria ate ice cream for supper. I don't blame her. The Raspberry frozen yogurt from Homestead is yummy.
