I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out terrible. The polenta was mushy and the leeks and onions were undercooked.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some additional seasoning.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The polenta is creamy and cheesy, and the leeks and onions add a nice savory flavor. I like to add a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes for a little spice.
