ingredients
- 5 -6 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 cups quick-cooking polenta
- 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 cups spinach, washed, spun dry and coarsely chopped
directions
- Prepare the polenta by boiling the water with the salt and butter or olive oil then adding the polenta in a steady stream while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking and stirring for about 5 minutes (longer if you don't have the quick-cooking variety).
- Spoon into shallow bowls and crumble feta cheese over the top and sprinkle with pepper.
- Bring the spinach to the table in a separate bowl. Take as much spinach as you want/as will fit on top of your polenta and EAT getting a little polenta, cheese and spinach in each bite.
- You can substitute chicken stock or vegetable stock for the water for more flavor but scale back the salt if you do. You can also add onion powder to the polenta or chopped green onion to the spinach. It is pretty versatile.

Back in the US after 10 years abroad. Good to be home and have good access to more familiar ingredients, however, I also loved all that I learned in my beloved adoptive country of Macedonia. I also had the privilege of running an American style bakery during my last 3 years in Skopje.
Baking is my addiction, but I do love all sorts of cooking. My husband recently ended his 15 year low-carb lifestyle, so we are both busy packing on the pounds and being able to eat forbidden foods together now! Love it (but not how snug my pants are!).
