The mild flavor of polenta pairs well with just about anything. You can mix your favorite spices and seasonings into polenta, and enjoy it in place of potatoes or rice with dinner. Polenta is commonly mixed with cheese for extra creaminess, or you can add some nutritional yeast to keep it plant-based. Many vegetables taste delicious when combined with polenta—we love it with mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes, peas, and even broccoli. It pairs well with plant and animal proteins!
