Polenta, a classic Italian dish made from cornmeal, offers a versatile base that can be transformed into a delightful array of dishes. Today, we'll be giving it a spicy twist with chili peppers and a savory depth courtesy of olives. This Chilli and Olive Polenta is a flavorful, gluten-free, and vegetarian dish that's perfect as a side or even as a main course.
- Gradually add the cornmeal to boiling broth to prevent lumps, stirring constantly for a smooth texture.
- For an added layer of flavor, consider using a mix of different types of olives.
- Chop the chili peppers finely if you prefer a more uniformly spicy dish, or leave them in larger chunks for varied heat intensity.
- Once cooked, let the polenta sit for a few minutes to firm up before serving, making it easier to slice or scoop.
- You can also grill or pan-fry slices of the cooked polenta for a crispy texture.
Chilli and olive polenta is a culinary delight that balances warmth from the chili peppers with the rich, savory notes from the olives. It's a simple yet satisfying dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of proteins or can stand alone as a hearty vegetarian option. Enjoy your meal and relish the bold flavors this dish has to offer!
