Reviews
This was excellent. I served this as a side dish with a hearty beef stew and it was a hit. We even put some on top of the stew. I will make this again and again. I did not make the balsamic glaze since I have my own.
My family loved this alternative to mashed potatoes. We broiled some pork chops and added the delicious balsamic glaze on both meat and polenta and the "ummm's" and the "ooo's" around the table were delightful to hear! We'll be having more of this soon!
