Polenta Appetizers

"This is a great appetizer that can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or on a grill. I love to stir in freshly chopped cilantro before pouring into baking pan."

  1. Notes for future cooks of this recipe: This only made 12 smallish triangles for me and I doubled the amount of corn called for. Perhaps my onion soup mix wasn't well spiced, so I added some "potato spice" and "lemon pepper" before baking. Having said that, these are amazing! I cannot stop eating them!! I used red peppers and green jalapenos for a lovely colour combo and a mix of cheddar and extra-mature cheddar for the topping. The wedges reheat beautifully and are so tasty warm or cold. I had some the next day topped with ham for lunch - yummy! I'm sure this is a very adaptable recipe and will try adding some different ingredients each time (chopped ham, olives, mushrooms - endless variations come to mind). Thank you, chef luvmybge, for a super recipe - a keeper for me, for sure :)

Hmm... let's see.. Cooking is my passion... I'm retired now and able to cook and bake every day. I think the most helpful cookbook that I own would have to be The New Doubleday Cookbook. I just love kitchen gadgets and have many of them. Besides cooking I love to sing and belong to the Sweet Adeline's International. I get very annoyed at people who are LATE! I think it's just as easy to be late as it is to be on time. Well.. thanks to all of you at Zaar for all of your terrific recipes and ideas that bring my friends and family much joy and happiness. They get to try all of my new recipes.
