Fruity version with mango

  1. For the fruity version, fold in the mango cubes or use as a garnish. This gives the creamy polenta a slightly sweet note and makes a tasty combination with hearty meat dishes.

Spicy polenta casserole with Parmesan cheese

  1. For a spicy casserole, stir about 30 g of grated Parmesan into the polenta instead of the mango, pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish and gratinate in the oven at 170°C using the grill function for about 10 minutes.
