I’m at present going by means of a polenta half. I began making it contained in the rice cooker (I’ll share quickly) for breakfast on weekends and some circumstances all by means of the week. Polenta is one amongst my favourite pantry staples due to it’s a car for sauce and toppings and I like each of these factors.
Hey, consolation meals.
I’ve been making an attempt so as in order so as to add cornbread into our meal prep rotation due to Casey loves cornbread and I like having one issue on the counter to offer sudden friends or household. It’s an effective way to spherical out my Turkey White Bean Chili, or any chili for that matter. The issue is, I’ve been having a difficult time discovering a cornbread recipe that I like. On one amongst my many cornbread makes an strive, I ran out of fine cornmeal and used the polenta I had contained in the pantry. And correct proper right here we’re! I landed on a recipe for cornbread that I really love! Most of them being bland, boring, dry or crumbly for my sort. This one positively is the oppoosite of that.
As an individual who likes texture in my bread (see the ultimate phrase veggie sandwich and/or hippy banana bread), the polenta REALLY does it for me. There’s a pleasant sweetness with the sugar, a contact of tang with the buttermilk. It’s not mushy or crumbly. It’s gentle, with just a bit little little bit of texture and a pleasant crispy edge. No exact must be drowned in butter like all of the recipes I attempted ahead of (though that didn’t cease me from doing so!). This one has the entire flavour I look for in a cornbread.
Welcome to my meal prep arsenal, Polenta Cornbread! Glad to have you ever ever ever. You’ll slot in accurately correct proper right here and I contemplate I’d put blueberries in you subsequent time. Only for pleasing!
