This sun dried tomato and pumpkin seed polenta is a super tasty, quick and easy side dish. It’s goes well with a chunky vegetable ragu or a meat dish.
Polenta is delicious! Who knew? Not me! I can’t remember why I decided to experiment with it, possibly I had seen a cake recipe? The recipe below is now a firm favourite, it’s a great accompaniment to Aubergine, mushroom and tomato. But we have also had it with cold meats and a salad. It’s tasty and can be ready to eat in under 8 minutes.
Simmering the polenta for one minute gives a sloppy texture which I like, if you prefer it a little firmer simmer for two minutes.
