Polenta and Meatball Sliders

· ·

These sliders are quick, easy, and crazy delicious!
Untitled design(19)What You’ll Need:
Quick-Cooking or Ready-Made Polenta
Just FreshDirect 100% Grass-Fed Local Beef Meatballs
Marinara Sauce
Shaved Parmesan cheese
Parsley
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

What To Do:
If using quick-cooking polenta, cook entire 8.8 oz package according to instructions on label. Line a small baking or casserole dish with aluminum foil, leaving plenty of overhang, and lightly grease. Pour in cooked polenta and spread out in an even layer (it should be roughly 1/2-inch thick). Cover dish with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator until polenta is firm, at least 2 hours. Carefully grab the edges of the foil and lift out polenta. Cut polenta into roughly 2-inch squares and carefully separate from foil.

If using ready-made polenta, slice the log into 1/2 inch thick rounds.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the polenta rounds until golden brown on each side (you may need to work in batches). As soon as a round is removed from the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a saucepan, brown the meatballs. Once browned, lower the heat and add the sauce. Simmer together for about 10-15 minutes. Place a meatball onto each round and top with cheese and parsley. Enjoy!

Here's another shameless women-owned business plug Here's another shameless women-owned business plug for #WomensHistoryMonth.

@SaturFarms began 20 years ago by Paulette Satur, a farmer's daughter living and working in New York City, determined to bring the fresh ingredients that her husband and chef worked with in illustrious European kitchens. Armed with Paulette Satur's plant science degree and Chef Eberhard Müller's passion for culinary perfection, they set about growing their farming business together. Today, Satur Farms produces specialty salads, leafy veggies, root veggies, and herbs on 250 acres on Lond Island and 500 acres in the winter in Flordia to deliver the freshest produce year-round. Plus, as a sustainable farming operation following European farming techniques, they're socially responsible and pay employees living wages - win-win.

There's no better time to eat chili than whenever There's no better time to eat chili than whenever you want. Check out @feedyoursister's recipe for Turkey Chili

What you'll need::
• 3 tbsp olive or avocado oil
• 1 tsp pink salt
• 1 container of mirepoix (chopped onion, carrot and celery)
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped (optional)
• 2 red bell peppers, chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey/beef/chicken (you can also sub in crumbled tofu)
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 large can of diced tomatoes (28 oz)
• 2-3 cans of beans (Black, pinto, kidney, refried or aduki beans are great choices.)

What you'll do::
In a large pot, add in the first six ingredients and sauté over medium heat until the onions and peppers have a chance to sweat and soften, about 5-7 minutes.

Add in meat of choice or tofu. Stir around and crumble using a wooden spoon until all the meat is mostly cooked.

Add in chili powder, cayenne (if using) and cumin. Stir ingredients around in the pot to prevent burning.

Add in stock, diced tomatoes and beans. If you are adding in extra chopped veggies, add them in now as well. Mix to combine.

Let simmer for about 40 minutes.

Fill your bowl with whatever toppings you’d like and enjoy!
