Longer sunny days are finally here and despite my undying passion for cooking, I’d usually prefer to enjoy the sunsets on the waterfront than tucked into my tiny kitchen. Quick-cooking meals are therefore popular this time of year and this luscious dish of creamy polenta is not only ready under 30-minutes, it also looks much more elaborate than its simple ingredients would imply.
Luxurious artichokes get a quick marinade of spicy vinaigrette, their tanginess playing wonderfully well against the creamy polenta.
Polenta’s speedy preparation is a blessing and just adding a little bit of butter and Parmesan is all it takes to bring it to down-home comfort greatness. You could also use quinoa for an even healthier version but evenings are still cool enough for me to crave polenta’s warmth these days.
It’s also a great way to add a filling meatless dinner to your repertoire and remind you that eggs are real saviors in the kitchen when pressed for time or lacking a protein. Poaching is way easier than you might think and is really quick so don’t be intimidated!
In less than 30 minutes you have a decidedly simple, delicious, healthy, and pretty cheap meal ready – what’s not to love!
The runny yolk acts as a silky sauce in this dish frankly ideal for any time of day whether it’s for brunch, lunch, or getting into the great habit of ‘eggs for dinner’. Bon appetit!
