The perfect accompaniment to anything that requires something creamy and dense to mop up the flavour of your main dish. Add more butter, sage & cheese
This is a fantastic option to accompany most main meals requiring the fill them up principle. It does stick to your ribs, creating a full feeling! hahaha. The growing kidlets will love it. I personally cannot stop once I have made this so I stay away in general. It is DEEE-licious!
Add more butter, more cheese, more sage at will. You really cannot go wrong. This first appeared in For Food's Sake, my very first cookbook after leaving Thermomix in Australia. It is out of print, but I still have copies in my store. Well worth the spend, if I say so myself! Go get one!!

Polenta can be very bland if you don't add a lot of flavour, so don't be shy. Add anything you like. A looser mixture is better than a stiff one as well, as it will thicken on standing. So add more liquid if you feel the texture is a bit solid!
