I am going to be 100% honest when I say I had no idea what polenta really was until recently. It always resembled a big bowl of grits to me but it’s actually corn. It’s a low carbohydrate food rich in Vitamin A and C which is the perfect vessel to add a protein and vegetables to make a complete meal. I love having more options for low FODMAP foods instead of my usual.
After learning these fun facts, I decided to venture out from rice and quinoa and try making polenta on my own. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make but I did notice it needs a heavy amount of seasoning. Also if you don’t eat this right away it turns hard fast which is the perfect transition to polenta fries!
