This is one of the few recipes I have not liked. The sauce was runny. The flavor was bland.
I like this recipe a lot. The concept is so adaptable to whatever’s in the fridge. I used grits instead of polenta, which was great. The combination of the creamy grits and the egg were such comfort food, and the veggies rounded it out with some nice healthy greens.
I am pretty confused by this meal. I’ve never heard of polenta. I bought it in a tube form. Cooking it in 4 cups of liquid resulted in chunks of polenta sitting in 4 cups of liquid. Was I supposed to fish it out? Did I read the measurements incorrectly? Did I buy it in the wrong form? All I know is this isn’t a recipe for soup, but that’s what I got.
