I accidentally grabbed quinoa instead of polenta, and added a ton of sage, garlic and black pepper. The quinoa added a great texture, and some much-needed protein. It was phenomenal! I was worried there wouldn't be much flavor in the veggies, but it's surprising how much a simple can of italian tomatoes adds. Seriously delicious recipe, and I would recommend using quinoa, spices with sage, black pepper and garlic. Delicious recipe.
