Microwave Polenta

Mon, 02/02/2015 - 19:05 — Susan B

You can have delicious polenta as often as you like with this easy microwave method. No stirring required.

Nutritional information per serving
148 calories; 3 grams fat; 2 grams saturated fat; 0 grams polyunsaturated fat; 1 gram monounsaturated fat; 28 grams carbohydrates; 2 grams dietary fiber; 590 milligrams sodium; 3 grams protein

NOTE: the original recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of butter; I substituted 1 tablespoon of olive oil, which has no cholesterol. I removed the cholesterol count from this information, which was published with the original recipe, but I do not know how to change the fat relationships. Probably the olive oil version has less saturated fat, but I don't know how much. The 3 grams of fat would be the same for the olive oil and the butter.

Major Ingredients: 
polenta (coarse corn meal)

Tempeh Agrodolce over Grilled Polenta

Mon, 02/02/2015 - 18:28 — Susan B

Argodolce is the Italian way of saying sour-sweet. The sour-sweet sauce in this recipe makes a great combination with the earthy taste of the tempeh and the soft texture of the polenta. Despite its long list of ingredients, this dish is not complicated, and much of it can be made ahead of time. The original recipe calls for steaming the tempeh, but it is also delicious smoked.

Major Ingredients: 
tempeh
Polenta
tomatoes
