You can never have too many side dish recipes, so give Polent Head to the store and pick up water, milk, dubliner cheese, and a few other things to make it today. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free and vegetarian diet. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes.
Instructions
Bring 3 cups (720 ml) of the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Slowly add the polenta, stir with a wooden spoon, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the polenta is tender and fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
Add the milk, 2 tablespoons of the butter, and the cheddar to the polenta and stir together over medium-low heat until just warmed through and soft enough to drop easily from a spoon, a few minutes more. Cover to keep warm.
Heat the olive oil in your largest skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are charred and have burst, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the radicchio and frisée and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Reduce the heat to medium-low and toss together.
Spoon the polenta into bowls and top with the salad and poached eggs. Crumble the blue cheese over the top before serving.
