Leftovers Rock

Besides the wonderful leftover macaroni and cheese leftovers, I also had some polenta leftover from the party.

Now I have some polenta squares leftover and those are targeted for dinner tonight with something wonderful on top of them (still undecided but prosciutto is rating high on the list). But I also had all the "negatives" of the round polentas I cut out for the party. So I made Polenta Scramble.

I found a recipe but didn't follow it exactly and after making it, would still change it a little - but it was great!

This is what I recommend:

One red bell pepper, sliced and diced
Two scallions, diced (greens too)
1 T. olive oil

Saute on med-high heat for just a minute, you want it to stay somewhat crunchy.

Add crumbled polenta (about 1" pieces max), a 1/2 teaspoon of oregano and cumin, and a handful of pine nuts.

Saute just until heated thoroughly (remember your polenta is already cooked).

Serve with fresh chopped parsley and shredded parmesean, romano, and/or asiago cheese.

Very, very good.
