Polenta is made with cornmeal and most often served in restaurants as a creamy, porridge kind of thing — which sounds bad and reminds me of Oliver!, as in, "Please sir, can I have some more…?"But that's not the one I'm talking about. Easy, fast, cheap and gluten free-you've got my attention! I used 'from scratch' polenta instead of the prepared type. I enjoyed the addition of paprika and added a bit more than a pinch once I tasted it. I used smoked paprika and it gave such a nice earthy flavour it was hard to stop at just a pinch.
