Story

This polenta makes a great sweet treat at breakfast or brunch time. Heat a little bit of maple syrup and mix in just a couple raisins before you put your fried polenta on plates, and serve with just a drizzle of your maple-raisin-syrup on top. A dab of whipping cream is always appreciated, too!
Polenta is an Italian food that is used to create dishes like the one here or ones with tomato or even cheese sauce involved. It's basically a vehicle for creating all sorts of delicious meals.
