Chili with Polenta and Vegetables image

Creamy polenta serves as an excellent canvas for hearty beef chili and garlicky sauteed spinach and mushrooms. If you make the chili in advance, the rest of the dish comes together quickly enough for a weeknight.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup quick-cooking polenta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered or halved
10 cups chopped fresh spinach (from 2 bunches, tough stems removed)
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 cups Easy Beef Chili

Steps:

  • In a pot, bring milk and 2 1/2 cups water to a simmer; season lightly with salt. Whisking constantly, add polenta in a thin stream. Reduce heat to low; cook, whisking occasionally, until polenta is tender and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter. Season with salt and pepper; cover to keep warm.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high, heat oil and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard garlic; add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add spinach; season with salt and pepper, and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add vinegar; cook 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reheat chili. Serve with vegetables over polenta.

This chili was easy to make and turned out delicious. I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. The polenta was a great addition and added a creamy texture to the dish.

This chili with polenta and vegetables was an explosion of flavors! The combination of the spicy chili, creamy polenta, and roasted vegetables was simply divine. I especially loved the addition of the sweet potatoes, which added a touch of sweetness
