Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

2

Combine polenta, water, salt, black pepper, garlic, and parmesan in the Cooking Pot and stir together. Close the lid, and select the WHITE RICE setting.

3

While the polenta is cooking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread mushrooms and tomatoes on the sheet and toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Roast for 12 minutes.

4

Once the EveryGrain™ Cooker completes the cooking program, allow the polenta to sit for 10 minutes before opening the lid to ensure it absorbs all of the liquid.

5

Spoon polenta into a serving platter and top with roasted vegetables and optional goat cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with crushed pepper flakes before serving.

Warning icon indicating caution

NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.

Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injuries.
