Chili and Polenta

Just a brief peek at life ;)

Last night I was making chili, mostly to freeze, but also to eat that night. I had been planning to have it with rice, but when it was coming up to that time, it just really didn't grab me as something I wanted to eat then.

Internet to the rescue! Well, internet after a quick look round my store cupboard. I've had a bag of medium ground cornmeal for a while (last used for cornbread) which is perfect for a very basic polenta. I cooked it, lined a bowl, and topped it with chili. Got it right too :) Cooked enough to solidify, so it wasn't just mush.

Chili in a polenta bowl. Works well.

And to horrify any Texans out there, my Chili is a bastard abomination, with peppers, tomato and kidney beans ;) And mince, of course.
