Orange Polenta With Orange Balsamico Sauce
"I saw this in a tv cooking show in 2002 and scribbled the recipe down. It was meant as a side for some kind of veal which I don't remember, but I mostly serve it with salmon. For reduced stock, reduce 2 cups of chicken stock to 1 cup by simmering. In place of pecorino you can also use parmesan cheese."

I made a single serving to have a hot lunch today. It's getting quite chilly in these parts and what a welcome surprise it was. I was expecting something like a basic porridge with some orange but it's really so much more. Really delicious. -
This is really good and has a great depth of flavor. It is greater than the sum of its parts. I actually ate it by itself for lunch and was quite satisfied, but I could see it going with a nice piece of pork or something.
