I think I had started using water and salt but then thought that vegetable stock would be better and started to change the recipe and got distracted as usual - I have amended it now and hope it makes more sense now - because the polenta cups are very goodJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-8847039643066810482009-10-13T05:52:50.282+11:002009-10-13T05:52:50.282+11:00By happy mistake some cranberries and cauliflower ...By happy mistake some cranberries and cauliflower from different dishes ended up mingling on my plate. I thought it was so interesting, the cauliflower and cranberry flavor together. I turned to google to see if anyone had paired these two together and written about it yet, and what do you know, you are first in the search! This side dish sounds great, exactly what I was looking for.<br /><br />Now I'm oh so intrigued by these polenta cups, it really has my imagination going. I am going to try these promptly along with your filling, because this sounds great too. One question: in the ingredients you list 1.5 cups stock, then in the directions you say water. Is one way or the other better for this recipe, or does it not make much difference? Or option #3, am I just misunderstanding what you mean by stock? :)<br /><br />Thanks!Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-6173031434110962132009-05-23T14:20:49.866+10:002009-05-23T14:20:49.866+10:00polenta cups is such a great idea.polenta cups is such a great idea.The Food Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813307597564913781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-19001252651185815002009-05-20T05:26:00.000+10:002009-05-20T05:26:00.000+10:00How very imaginative!

So I am sure you would love it<br /><br />Thanks Tanna - I agree with you about endless possibilities - I had been tempted to roast the cauli for the salad which I might do next time - or I could even use the salad to fill the polenta cups ....<br /><br />Thanks Lisa - the sweetness of the cranberries and saltiness of the feta go so well together don't they! am pleased that NCR has inspired me yet againJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-73409057868944286042009-05-17T00:48:00.000+10:002009-05-17T00:48:00.000+10:00Those polenta cups are an inspired creation.
