I told a friend :D that I would post my recipe for polenta and now see that I had posted it months ago so I am bumping it up in this thread. The amount of time in the oven will depend somewhat on the type of polenta you use, so use my recommendation and then adjust for future when baking.

 

Basic Polenta for 4. The lazy man way.

 

1 quart water

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup cornmeal

1 tablespoon butter

 

Combine water, salt, cornmeal, and butter in a 11/2 to 2 quart baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and give it a good stir. Stick the dish back in the oven and cook for 10 more minutes. The polenta, again, can be "jazzed up" anyway you like it while cooking, ie, cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc

 

 

 

Basic Polenta for 6 to 8. The lazy man way.

 

2 quarts water

2 teaspoons salt

2 cups cornmeal

2 tablespoons butter

 

Combine water, salt, cornmeal, and butter in a 2 to 3 quart baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 80 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and give it a good stir. Stick the dish back in the oven and cook for 10 more minutes. The polenta, again, can be "jazzed up" anyway you like it while cooking, ie, cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc

thanks Muggle!

I have it printed out in front of me now. :D

Sounds delish!

 

When you take it out of the oven it will still be malleable?

It depends somewhat on the size baking dish used. A small deep dish and it will be more malleable than if you use a larger flatter dish. again, different brands of cornmeal will result in softer or harder polenta. It takes a little experimenting with the oven time.

 

Oh yeah, when eating it for breakfast I like to pour a wee bit of maple syrup on it and mix it in....soooo good.

Boy, I have not seen this in ages! My grandmother and aunt always made this...but with fresh corn, broken up against a grater.

Yummy!

This recipe is my specialty. One of the neat things about it is, if you use extra lean ground beef, you wind up with a relatively low fat, and very healthy meal, that qualifies as "comfort food".

 

Almost Cabbage Rolls

 

Loosely mix together:

 

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef

1 large onion - diced

1 cup long grain rice

several cloves of grated garlic (I use lots)

2 tsp pepper

a dash of salt

 

Layer 4 cups of coarsely chopped cabbage in the bottom of a large casserole dish.

Layer half of the hamburger mixture on top of this.

Add another 4 cup layer of chopped cabbage, then the other half of the hamburger mixture, then 4 more cups of chopped cabbage. Make sure that it is loosely layered - do not pack it down.

 

Mix together:

 

1 22 oz. can tomato sauce

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 1/2 tbsp. mustard powder

 

Pour over the top of ingredients in casserole dish and let sit for 20 minutes minimum.

 

Bake covered in a 325 degree oven for 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

 

I've found that this tastes particularly nummy when served up with freshly-baked, still warm from the oven, cranberry-orange bread - spread with real butter. The way I make it is I use a raisin bread recipe, substitute thawed orange juice concentrate for the water, and craisins for the raisins.

This recipe makes a nice addition to any meal:

 

Pepper Salad

 

1 - 14oz can green beans (drained)

1 - 12oz can kernel corn (drained)

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

1/2 cup chopped red pepper

1/2 cup each of any other colour bell pepper you would like

1 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup sliced green onion

 

Dressing:

 

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup salad oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

 

Mix together and pour over vegetables. Refrigerate.

 

notes:

 

If you double the vegetables, you don't need to double the dressing.

 

The recipe lends itself to quite a bit of "customization". The first time I ever had this, my sister had added a can of white beans (drained and rinsed) to it. I would think that garbanzo beans (chick peas) would make a nice addition, as well. You could also substitute the can of kernel corn with a can or two of those mini corncobs.

When the lights are dimmed and its dark and cold outside add an extra glow and sparkle with these simple recipes.

 

HOT BUTTERED RUM = Preheat mug and add 2 oz rum, 1 tsp sugar, 1 stick of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Fill with boiling water and add a pat of butter. Dip a cube of sugar in rum, light it and float it on top of buttered rum.

 

FLAMING BANANAS = Cut 2 bananas in half lengthwise. In a large skillet melt 4 tbsp butter, then add 3/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon. When the sugar melts and the mixture begins to thicken, place the bananas in the pan and cook until soft. Remove from heat, add 1 oz of rum and 1/2 oz of Bols Creme de Bananes. Light it up to flame and serve hot and lots of whipped cream.

 

And last, but not least, ideal for the man who can't *do* desserts

 

ICE CREAM SURPRISE

 

Take a wide brimmed glass ideally with a stem fill it with your OH's favourite ice cream (you could sprinkle with grated chocolate, or add a few fruit segments), place a small sparkler in the top and light it. Of course the kids would love this as well. :-)
