I'm making the type of polenta you slice. It's in the last 10 minutes on the stove right now. I think I'm going to place half in a bowl to mold and the other half I'm having fun with and shaping with cookie cutters. Serving with kale and lentils seasoned with salt, black pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and mustard. I used chicken broth, white wine, marjoram, thyme, rosemary,sage, oregano, basil, and black pepper to cook the lentils in. The kale was sauteed in garlic, olive oil, and tossed with sun-dried tomatoes.

 

Edit: I just realized I added an extra 1-1/2 tablespoon of butter to the polenta on accident. Oh, well...more creamy goodness.
