My brother made an amazing green chili polenta. Ever since then I was craving it. Polenta is creamy and filling. It makes a good side dish, or sometimes I fry a bit up for breakfast because to me, polenta is a bit of a comfort food.

Creamy polenta is great side dish. It tastes great fried up, but it can also be eaten in the "mush" form.
