In my pantry, I have a packet of organic polenta which Eric bought when we. Were still living in Canberra. I still remembered the reason we bought that. To use as 'dusting flour' for pizza. For some reason, I remembered the pizza making course I had back in primary school days, and the instructor used corn mill to stop the pizza from sticking to the base. Anyhow, the pizza still stuck to the stone, and we left the polenta flour in the pantry and it got travelled with us to sydney.
So two weeks ago, I found the packet of polenta sitting miserably at the corner of the pantry. 'Ok', I thought to myself, 'It's time I try making something out of you.'
And so I go to my trusty Mr Google, and found a good basic recipe for making polenta cakes.
To compliment this dish, I made beef curry (curtesy of Ayam Brand Beef Massamam curry paste), and my garlic rosemary flat bread.
Yummy curry with lots of veges! Potatoes, egg plant, carrots, onions and my home grown long bean!
The curry is a great dish for the cold winter nights. The polenta has such great texture and absorbed the curry sauce into it so well. I will definitely make it again and have it as a rice replacement.
Here you go, my polenta cakes with beef curry and flat bread.

I have not eaten polenta before so I looked it up and found that it is cornmeal. Guess it can be used as substitute for bread?
Yup! They can be substitute for rice, bread or potato. =) They are quite yummy. If you like Cous Cous, then you'll like the texture of Polenta. Try them! =D
