Sausages & Polenta
Sausages and polenta is a delicious dish that combines savory sausages with creamy polenta. The sausages are typically cooked until they're tender and juicy, and then served on a bed of polenta made from cornmeal. The polenta adds a comforting, rich texture that complements the flavor of the sausages.
Ingredients
- 4 sausages your choice of flavor
- 1 cup polenta (cornmeal)
- 4 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
Optional toppings:
- grated cheese
- herbs chopped
- marinara sauce
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add salt to taste.
- Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the polenta simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should become thick and creamy.
- While the polenta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sausages. Cook them until they are browned and cooked through, following the instructions on the package.
- Once the sausages are cooked, transfer them to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes. Then, slice them into bite-sized pieces or keep whole if desired.
- Stir the butter into the cooked polenta until it melts and is fully incorporated.
- Season the polenta with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the creamy polenta on plates or in bowls, and top it with the sliced sausages.
- If desired, sprinkle some grated cheese, chopped herbs, or drizzle marinara sauce over the dish for extra flavor.
- Enjoy your delicious sausages and polenta!
