This polenta may be eaten as a lovely side dish to chicken or beef or seafood… or you may wish to top it with something too (see the photo far down below for an idea…)
This polenta recipe is cooked slowly on the stove with coconut milk and whole milk (much like you slowly cook risotto to get it to its tender state) before topping it off with butter, kosher salt and chives.
I topped my Creamy Coconut Polenta with another recipe from The Recipe Girl Cookbook: Sweet Chili Pulled Pork. They’re a perfect match, and they’re two of my favorite recipes in the book. The best part is that they’re both easy-to-prepare, and they are family-friendly too. You’re in luck > My friend Sommer from the food blog A Spicy Perspective is featuring my recipe for Sweet Chili Pulled Pork today! So you get two recipes in one. And all of the recipes below are featured on blogs too! Since there are 195 recipes in The Recipe Girl Cookbook, you get a little hint of what’s in the book by trying out some of the recipes that are being shared.
THERE’S MORE! 6 of my blogging friends are celebrating The Recipe Girl Cookbook this week too! They’re each sharing a recipe from the book + a giveaway for a KitchenAid Blender and a Recipe Girl Cookbook. Be sure to check them out!
