Polenta vs Mush




I bought some garlic and dried tomato polenta the other day at Whole Foods Market. Just wondering why they call it polenta now instead of mush. Back in the 80s we called it mush and was so good fried. Of course back then we didn't use olive oil..hate to say what we used for oil but now we do it the healthy way.

There are so many ways to fix polenta. Above is a wonderful way to fix polenta with mozzarelle..(;) and smashed up tomato with rosemary. I was thinking of fried green tomatoes but can't fry everything! Toast it all up and wha-la..perfection. Eggplant would also be perfect to add on top or maybe an avocado whipped up with a dollap on top. You could then add a spoonful of sour cream on top...(ok Renee shut it down). Anyhow I am glad that mush has a new name and it is back on our plates! BON APPETIT!
