Beans on Polenta

Really delicious for something made from such simple ingredients. It was easy and stress-free to put together. I threw in some leftover spinach with the beans and it paired well.

Aaawww this happens to be a traditional Romanian recipe! We used to eat it all the time when we were kids; one of my all time favourites. Thanks for bringing it here ❤️

How wonderful to hear that this recipe brought back fond memories from your childhood! Thank you for sharing its connection to Romanian traditions as well, Violeta 🫶

Tout simplement délicieux !

I used fresh tomatoes, peppers, and chickpeas. I understand this altered the original recipe quite a bit. But I did enjoy the concept.

Super quick and delicious with ingredients that are easy to keep on hand for a fast weeknight meal. Will definitely do this again!

Loved how easy it was to prepare! Also surprisingly filling!

Can this be made with cooked polenta?

Hi there, Connor, yes you can make this with cooked polenta, but keep in mind that the cooked polenta is usually harder in texture! You can make the tomato bean mixture and once that's ready, serve it over the cooked polenta 😊

Super tasty and quick to make ! If you batch cook, the polenta will have hardened the next day, so only make the portions of polenta for the day if you want it to be more liquidy ! I like it both ways

Hey Stéphanie, thanks a bunch for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe 😊

Such a quick and easy dish but nevertheless delicious and perfect for Meal Prep.

It is extremely easy and quick to make. It is a perfect rainy day meal.

It’s quite hard to find a ton of options for kidney beans recipes - everyone seems to be all about chickpeas these days 🤷‍♀️ But yeah was simple and satisfying - good ratio of time vs complexity vs final product taste, solid 4/5. Thanks, Sadia!

Nice, missing something from the sauce - will add marmite next time to see if that gives it a bit more depth

So fun when you expect a recipe to be just "ok" when it turns out delicious, this was one of those. And the vegan parmesan as a topping is such an amazing invention as well, it really made my day to taste that parmesan cheese knowing it's so easy to whip it up. Thank you

Aww love to hear this, Jonathan! Thank you for the glowing review 🥰

Amazing way to eat white beans ! Loved it ♥️ Gonna eat the remaining beans on toast

New year, new recipe. The first PUL-recipe we made in 2024 was very simple to prepare and very tasty.

Happy new year, Roland! Cheers to many more delicious creations together this year 🙌

This is such a delicious recipe! It looked too simple to have this much flavour, but what a perfect meal for after work. My other half is working away, so I scaled the recipe down for just me, but I will have to make it for him when he's home too!

PUL Team - Dec. 1, 2023, 1:29 a.m.

Aw we're so happy that the Beans on Polenta was enjoyed, Rob, and are glad the scaling feature was helpful! Hope your other half enjoys it too 🤗 ✨

Very easy to make!

Wow! Super quick and easy. The entire family loved it.

Quick and yummy supper.

We used kidney beans and added cherry tomatoes and garlic that we let briefly sizzle in a hot pan and it was the perfect summer evening dish. Yay!

Yayyy so happy to hear, Mathias, thank you!

Effortless, quick for any meal option. My family loved it. We added fresh basil at the end of cooking and plant based feta, delicious!

Basil and plant-based deta sound delicious! Thank you, Shanely 😊

Great fast and easy recipe! I could make it very quickly and one of the kids really liked it. I can see how it would be easy to add more veggie to the sauce! Thanks for the inspiration!

So glad it was enjoyed, Audrey, thank you 🙂
