Nutritional values

Polenta is a rich source of Vitamin A and silicic acid, which help support skin and hair health. The feta also adds muscle-building protein and zinc, which keeps hair shiny and nails firm. 

This polenta can easily be cut into pieces, making it a great next-day work lunch or finger food for cocktail parties.

Preparation steps

1.

Bring the vegetable broth and milk to a boil in a saucepan and season with salt. Mix in the polenta, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Stir 1 tablespoon olive oil into the polenta and season with freshly ground nutmeg and pepper. Pour the polenta into the baking dish and smooth.
