This was very good! I took it to my weekly dinner group and it got fairly good reviews. The only negative was that it tasted too much like blue cheese ( and I used a very mild cheese). Myself, I really enjoyed it. I added fresh rosemary and parsley (that is what I had on hand). I was really pleased to try this. I have been very intimidated by polenta, thinking it would be difficult to make but it was really quite easy. I wonder about putting it in a loaf pan and then slicing it and grilling it?? Thanks Rita for a wonderful recipe!!
