polenta is an Italian dish. it is an Italian mushed potato version. it's made with cornmeal or semolina and can be mixed with several verities of herbs, cheese, spices it can be pain or creamy all depending of with what you will serve it. polenta can be eaten in a dish like mushed potatoes it can be also fried or baked. ones you make it it can go as a great side with steak, fish, mushrooms, chicken, the possibilities are endless.

my version today is great for the fall season. i'm serving it with diced sweet and sour apples with a dash of cinnamon. i'm also making the polenta cheesy polenta creamy and cheesy emm yum!!

today im baking the polenta. normally in my mom recipe she fry it but i want to go healthy and believe me it was very crunchy and not oily at all.

you can find in the stores a ready to use polenta but doing it is not hard at all and taste much better then the commercial one.

of course you have the free choice to fry or bake you polentas. when baking them spray with oil it will give the crispiness needed.

i like serving them with some nuts. the combination of the sweet and sour apples with some cinnamon, and the comfort feeling when eating this lightly cheesy polentas is just beyond the expectation. that's can be perfect addition in you thanksgiving table! why not?!
