Goat's cheese polenta with asparagus and portobellos - a big bowl full of comfort!

Just a quick one today! Remember those gorgeous Greek stuffed tomatoes that Tara from Noshing With The Nolands brought over for you guys while I was on my honeymoon back in April? I’m so happy to be able to repay the favour by guest posting for her today while she’s off taking her own trip! I made this creamy goat’s cheese polenta with asparagus and portobello mushrooms – literally a bowl full of comfort (…perhaps not literally, but you know what I mean).

This was actually only the second time I’ve used polenta – the first time was at a cookery course I went to the other week. There, we made deep-fried polenta chips (which were amazing, I might add), so this was actually my first time having creamy polenta like this. And although I’m still not a total convert to the texture of the polenta when eaten totally plain, it was a seriously comforting addition to the fresh, garlicky spring vegetables.

What’s your favourite way to serve polenta? I feel that now I’ve started using a new ingredient, I should continue to experiment with it!

If you have leftover portobellos, use them to make this creamy garlic spaghetti with roasted portobellos:

  1. We use loads of polenta in our house and goats cheese polenta is such an understated and gorgeous combination! X

  2. Ooh, I forgot about polenta! This sounds so creamy and delicious, especially with the bright vegetables for contrast. It’s clearly time to break the bag of cornmeal out of the freezer. :)

      1. Not exactly–I just keep all my dry grains in the freezer to deter pantry moths etc. So the dry cornmeal still requires a boil!

  3. Becca … I recently found your blog and have been enjoying your recipes … thank you for sharing!!
    I live in the US and have yet to find a reliable online calculator to convert grams to ounces … do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    1. Thanks Sue! :)

      Grams to ounces is actually a really easy conversion! Much easier than using cups or anything like that. 100g is roughly 3.5oz, but if you literally just google ‘grams to ounces’, there’s a built-in converter that pops up :) hope that helps!
