If you have never had polenta, you are really missing out. It’s creamy, warm and filling and can be paired with just about any other food imaginable. Another neat thing about polenta is that it’s good for you<\/a>. When I learned to make polenta, or grits, last summer, I went to my favorite website, Joy The Baker<\/a>, who has an amazing recipe for Vanilla Brown Sugar Breakfast Polenta<\/a>. This polenta takes upwards of 40 minutes and a lot of muscle, but the end result is unbelievable. This summer I wanted to continue making my grits, but turn them into something simpler. So,\u00a0I’m going to teach you a trick with a Zojirushi rice maker<\/a> and some polenta that will give you a healthy FODMAP friendly meal to feed your face in under 40 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

First you will need some good quality polenta. I like to buy mine in bulk at the People’s Food Co-op, but this week they were out, so we opted for Bob’s Red Mill because they are good too. If you have a health food store near you I almost guarantee you that there will be corn grits in their bulk section. You will also need a rice maker. You can obviously make polenta with a simple pot and whisk, but I’m trying to save you some time, effort and arm strain, so if you have a rice maker, dust it off. I \u00a0turned this polenta into a meal for Team VP, so you will also need eggs, avocado and tomatoes.<\/p>\n
