[...] rocket & radicchio salad. Another old favourite, the secret to this salad is to finely slice the radicchio into ribbons so it mingles easily with the rocket. [...]

hi jules, i am definately making this polenta dish tomorrow, i live in italy, i avoid polenta, i either end up with 3rd degree burns up my arms or the instant stuff tastes like sand. i will let you know how i get on, i’ll even do the mushrooms, i don’t care if the children don’t like them, more for me.
ciao

Jules, what an excellent idea – a polenta revolution. I love the stuff, but can never be bothered to cook it – this is a perfect solution. Thanks!

hey bea,
glad I’m not the only one. I tend to buy and organic Italian one that is labelled instant but haven’t really explored the other options.

linda,
I think the French roquette is the best name…but it’s plain old rocket here in Oz. Icecream and figs in any form are a marriage made in heaven.

thanks Clare. good luck with your future polenta exploits

brigitte,
hope your family like this version of polenta. If you’re going to use dried figs you’ll need more water. I posted a recipe on dried fig icecream recently and just quitely if I had to choose between the fresh and dried would have to go dried.

I make polenta very seldom, almost none of my family member like it. Anyway I think I’m going to try your recipe. But you Ice cream is a must. I hope it will work with dreis figs as well, I have some very delicious missions figs for example. To get fresh ones is very, very difficult in Singapore.

What a brilliant idea! I like polenta very much, but I hate stirring forever only to get splashed with hot, molten gobs of the stuff. Now I know what to do…thanks :)

first of all, i love that you call arugula rocket and i should do the same. we all should. that salad looks absolutely delicious. so fresh. my lord.

and that ice cream combination is complete and utter perfection (as are the majority of your dishes!). thanks for sharing this. i dont know why i have yet to pair ice cream with fig.

I totally relate. I think that I have also shared my toke on love/hatred of polenta. I also always get confused in the choices to buy, to start from! I should try again! Great recipes here!
