    Ingredients for Pumpkin Sage Polenta

    This polenta recipe is very flavorful thanks to the pumpkin puree and fresh sage but none of them stand out. A very well balanced dish. I know I hate it when one ingredient stands out more than the others.

    Never heard of Polenta and curious what it is? It's basically boiled cornmeal which is ground yellow or white dried corn. It's also commonly referred to as Corn Grits. I'm pretty confident that most grocery stores in your area carry it.
