    I envision making this in one of those wavy pans that make every piece an edge piece.
    It's amazing how such basic ingredients can come together to make something so delicious looking!

    Very nice, if you make it again try using some Stock/Broth instead of water to cook the polenta. since you were using bacon maybe some Pork broth would be nice.

    • @KumasKitchen
      @KumasKitchen  6 місяців тому

      I sometimes do. Other times milk/water. Bacon can also be replaced by bbq pork. So many options.

    Great inspiration! We could see the steam rising when you took that spoonful of the gratin out of the pan.....you were smart to not pop it into your mouth.....Ouch! That would have left a scar! LOL!

    I don't often use Polenta. This is a nice combination. I might add some chopped green chilies for a little color and heat. By the way, how is Mei-chan settling in? Thank you Kevin for this nice recipe.

    • @KumasKitchen
      @KumasKitchen  6 місяців тому +1

      Chilies or jalapeno peppers would be great. I'd have to put them in my half only. Mei-chan has settled right in. She's an energetic little girl. She's been earing well and putting on some size. She had been bullied by her siblings at her previous home and I don't think she got enough to eat. Making up for it now.
