My thoughts:
I came across a reference to baked polenta lately in addition to was intrigued. I don't discovery polenta hard to brand merely I'm ever a trivial scared of the molten bubbles it produces when I larn distracted. I've had to a greater extent than than i run inwards alongside scalding polenta! So baking it seemed similar an slow solution. Then I had the catch to become far into a to a greater extent than consummate repast in addition to came upwards alongside this.Ham in addition to peas are a classic combination in addition to I intend they become wonderfully alongside polenta (or grits merely I'm going for a subtle Italian vibe then it's polenta); the creaminess of the polenta is actually laid off yesteryear the smoky ham in addition to fresh pea flavor. Serve alongside or then crusty breadstuff or a low-cal salad in addition to you lot create got a meal!
I served it for dinner merely I bet it would brand a proficient breakfast or brunch dish too! It reheats real nicely inwards the oven. Just accept it out of the refrigerator for close an one-half hr to cutting downwardly on the reheating fourth dimension in addition to to avoid bully the dish.
