For me there are a few meals that are ultimate comfort food, meals that just make you feel good and where you cannot help to smile and feel warm and cosy. mash, macaroni and polenta all fall into this category.  Yesterday we had polenta with a meat ragu which was just perfect.

It took us a while to learn how to make polenta lump free and now we have, I could eat this all the time. The liquid needs to be boiling and you need to whisk the liquid whilst slowly but steadily sprinkling the polenta in.  I like the slow cook polenta which takes 30-40 mins but you can get a quick cook one.  Either way, I use stock instead of water and finish off with butter and a small amount of parmesan.  So good.
