Cheesy Almond Polenta (Low-Carb, Keto Friendly)

I am THRILLED!

Low-Carbing is hard sometimes!

I get tired of Cauliflower everything! Sometimes I WANT mashed potatoes or real rice!

I like grilled veggies, that I can do, but but, but….. I want something Hearty with my stew, steak, or chop.

Can I make Polenta out of Almond meal?

YES!

It is AWESOME!

Again necessity is the Mother of invention! 

Fireworks not just light bulbs.

Can Almond Polenta do all the same things that cornmeal Polenta can?  

I don’t know yet, but I am going to find out.

 

Cheesy Almond Polenta

Ingredients:

• 1 C. Almond Meal
• 1 C. water
• tiny Dash of salt
• 1/3 C. finely shredded Parmesan
• 1/4 C. shredded Fontina

Preparation:

• Add Almond meal and water to medium saucepan. Wisk to combine.  Turn heat to med-high and continue wisking until mixture comes to a boil, about 3 minutes. Lower heat and stir while mixture thickens, only another minute or two.  Turn off heat and stir in cheeses until smooth. It is ready to serve! It may look a little runny at first, but it set up like polenta as it cooled slightly on the plates.
•   What was that, maybe 5 minutes to hearty, hold up to meat goodness. Yum!

So, many ideas coming to my mind…..
