This was delish and so tasty as well. It was simple enough for a weeknight meal. My polenta did not get hard enough to cut into circles- but I'm assuming that's my fault becaused I didn't follow the recipe exactly and used soy milk instead. I served this as a main dish with a side of roasted asparagus. Thanks for posting! Made for the March 09 veg swap.
