Polenta with Green Beans image

This is a different and tasty side dish with an Italian flare, thanks to the cooked polenta. Coarsely-ground cornmeal is sometimes labelled "polenta", a little shopping hint if you have trouble finding it at your supermarket. An Italian market will have it if you strike out at your regular grocery story.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups chicken stock (using water makes this a vegetarian dish)
1 cup coarsely-ground cornmeal (, finely ground won't work as well)
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Over medium heat in a large pot, bring stock to a boil (use water to make this a vegetarian dish).
  • Very slowly, whisk in cornmeal.
  • Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes, whisking very frequently; polenta will be thick.
  • Season well with salt and pepper and, with a wooden spoon, beat in the cheese.
  • Oil an 8-inch baking dish and pour polenta in; smooth top and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
  • Cut polenta into squares and place on an oiled baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until polenta squares are slightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to boil and add beans.
  • Cook for 2 minute; drain; rinse under cold water and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil; when hot, add garlic, red pepper and the beans.
  • Saute until peppers have softened and garlic is golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Season veggies with salt and pepper.
  • Place polenta squares on a serving platter and top with veggies; serve immediately.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming. I think there are easier ways to make polenta.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning. However, the polenta was creamy and the green beans were cooked well.

I love this recipe! The polenta is always creamy and flavorful, and the green beans are a great addition. I also like to add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a bit of extra flavor.
