This year, my boyfriend and I made a joint resolution. We committed to learning 1 new recipe each week. Although I love to cook, we all need that occasional push outside of our culinary comfort zones. I'll be posting some of my success stories here, along with where I found the recipe and a list of the ingredients I was able to obtain from local sources.
We started off with polenta pie from Mollie Kazten's Moosewood Cookbook (a much loved Christmas present).
(It looked and tasted better than the picture suggests)
This was a great winter recipe because the filling can be adapted to include whatever vegetables and herbs we have available at the time. My boyfriend and I used onions, swiss chard, tomato sauce and garlic. We were very happy with this recipe, but I'll make a few changes next time. I'll use a thinner polenta crust and add a little more seasoning to it.
Local ingredients:
- cornmeal
- onion
- garlic
- swiss chard
- cheese
- tomato sauce
