Smoky Creamy Polenta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

I came up with this to make for my Veal Osso Bucco recipe # 54107. This is so creamy smooth real comfort food! It's got a slight warming kick from the chipotle sauce. Polenta was known as a meal for the poor. Corn was introduced to the south of what is now Canton Ticino (the Italian part of Switzerland) in the beginning of the 17th century, which led to a change in the monotonous cuisine. But it took another 200 years before polenta became the staple dish of the area.

This polenta dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a disaster! The polenta never thickened and the sun-dried tomatoes were way too sour.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out really clumpy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I found the recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

The polenta was a bit too runny for my taste, but the flavor was still great.

I've always been a fan of polenta, but this recipe takes it to the next level. The addition of sun-dried tomatoes and smoked paprika gives it an incredible depth of flavor.
