Polenta with Chorizo

This is another one of those accidental dishes. A recipe borne from a paltry pantry. I was lazy and didn't make it to the grocery store but I dd have cornmeal in the cupboard and chorizo in the kitchen. In earlier posts I discussed polenta and chorizo. But this dish combines the two together. Creamy polenta with little explosions of chorizo make this dish easy, simple and tasty.

Polenta with Chorizo
Serves 4

1 C of Cornmeal
4 C of Water
1 Tbl of Butter
1 tsp of Salt
3/4 of Chorizo, cooked

- In a pot, pour in cornmeal, water, butter and salt
- Boil mixture for 15 minutes and stir often. Add additional water as necessary to ensure the polenta develops a smooth consistency
- After polenta is no longer gritty, add in cooked chorizo and stir
- Top with sliced scallions for color and flavor
