Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves minced garlic
3 cups water or 1 3/4 cups water and 1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
1/2 cup corn grits (basically the same thing) or 1/2 cup polenta (basically the same thing)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, and or 1/3 cup toasted sunflower seeds

Steps:

  • Heat a sauce pan to medium high. Add the oil, let it heat up, then add the onion. Cook the onion until it is fragrant, then add the garlic.
  • Reduce heat if necessary to cook until transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the water or milk and water.
  • Stir once or twice and allow it to come to a boil. Add the polenta and quinoa, reduce the heat to medium low.
  • Stir frequently until the quinoa is cooked and the mixture begins to pull away from the edges of the pot while stirring (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and add salt and pepper, cheese and or sunflower seeds.
  • At this point you can spread the polenta onto an oiled sheet pan and allow to cool until firm.
  • Once cooled you can cut it into pieces and gently crisp it on a skillet in olive oil. You can also cover the cooled polenta with sauce, cheese and other toppings and bake in the oven.
  • Or you can eat the polenta while it is still soft and hot with whatever toppings or accompaniments appeal to you.

This polenta was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polenta turned out very sticky. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This polenta was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more liquid. However, the flavor was good.

This polenta was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning. However, the texture was nice and creamy.
