RECIPE 35/56 ROSTED ROOT VEGETABLES WITH CREAMY POLENTA
VEGETABLES
3 Tbsp EVOO, divided
1 large turnip, peeled
3 small red onions
2 medium parsnips, peeled
3 medium carrots, peeled
2 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
POLENTA
4 1/2 cups milk
1 large fresh rosemary sprig
1 cup instant polenta (yellow cornmeal can he substituted for the instant polenta. To substitute yellow cornmeal, prepare milk as directed in Step 3. After discarding rosemary and returning milk to a simmer, slowly add cornmeal, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium low. Cook 5 minutes whisking frequently. Continue as recipe directs.) PS I actually grind my own cornmeal from my summer batch that I dehydrated.
1 ounce Parmesan cheese grated (30 grams)
2 ounces (60 grams) sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded, PS I now can tell the difference between aged and non-aged cheese and actually don't like any cheddar that is not aged.
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
