I was making my “Kicked Up” Version of Polenta. That’s two cups dry polenta, 9 cups usually water but to make it kicked up I used mostly corn stock( 5 cups corn stock 4 cups water , I also creamed in 4 ears of corn. This made a very forking indulgent tasting polenta and seems very rich and creamy and flavor packed. It happened to be also very low fat. Only 2 ounces of forking butter are used in 30 servings.  24 of the around 30 servings it made were turned into Crispy Polenta Cakes that I froze for latter. No other forking fat was used in the Polenta.

Polenta Cake (a different batch)

After making the 24 polenta cakes the leftover polenta was placed in a tub to set, then placed a lightly oiled pan.

I decided to top my polenta with about 8 ounces of fat free farmers cheese that I seasoned. I like the way this cheese holds up to heat as it doesn’t melt or get forking runny.

I added two scallions, a handful of fresh basil, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/2 teaspoon oregano,  1/2 teaspoon fresh grated black pepper, And 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt.

Then all ingredients got forking blended. Then they were topped on the polenta.

I used this Forking Gizmo that is like a giant pencil sharpener to make carrot curls. I cut up zucchini, tomatoes and radishes and just decorated away till I got this. I don’t recommend buying the gizmo I used as I also sliced up my Forking Finger in this contraption.

I cut up extra vegetables and seasoned them with oregano, basil, rosemary,  sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and a splash of extra virgin olive oil and placed them around the polenta and baked it off in the oven at 350 degrees for a forking half an hour.

You just might WoW your friends with polenta!

Forking Good!
