πŸŒ½πŸ§…πŸ«‘ Black Bean Polenta Cakes with Pepper-Cilantro Salsa πŸ«‘πŸ§…πŸŒ½
Author: Shelli McConnell (Forks Over Knives)

Enjoy these scrumptious polenta cakes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Unlike standard Italian-inspired polenta recipes, this one adds hearty black beans and smoky spices into the mix, which is then baked and sliced into savory cakes. A quick-chopped salsa composed of peppers, onions, cilantro, and lime juice adds extra Southwestern flavor to this easy and versatile meal. If you like your veggies slightly charred, throw them on the grill instead of in the oven to bring smoky flair to the dish.

Ingredients

🌽 1½ cups dry polenta
🌽 1 teaspoon chili powder
🌽 1½ 15-oz. cans no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained (2¼ cups)
🌽 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
🌽 Sea salt, to taste
🌽 Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
🌽 3 medium red and/or yellow bell peppers, halved and seeded
🌽 2 medium fresh poblano chiles, halved and seeded
🌽 2 medium onions, thickly sliced
🌽 2 tablespoons lime juice
🌽 Lime wedges

Instructions

πŸ§… 1. Line a 13Γ—9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large saucepan bring 6 cups water to boiling. Gradually whisk in polenta and chili powder. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 25 minutes or until mixture is thick and creamy, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat. Stir in beans and Β½ cup of the cilantro; season with salt and pepper. Spread polenta in prepared pan. Let cool. Cover and chill about 2 hours or until set.

πŸ§… 2. Preheat oven to 400Β°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange bell peppers, chiles, and onions in a single layer. Drizzle with lime juice.

πŸ§… 3. Roast 20 to 25 minutes or until tender and starting to brown. Peel bell peppers. Coarsely chop bell peppers, poblanos, and onion. In a medium bowl combine chopped vegetables and the remaining Β½ cup cilantro.

πŸ§… 4. Meanwhile, cut polenta into four rectangles; cut each in half diagonally. In an extra-large nonstick skillet heat polenta pieces, in batches, over medium about 6 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned, turning once. Top with vegetable mixture. Serve with lime wedges.

About Floodeer Eggs

Are those feathers? The egg itself looks like it is made out of a crystal type substance. Be careful that you don't drop the egg or the creature inside might not like you too much!

About the Floodeer Creature

The Floodeer is a majestic deer-like animal that can fly. Yep you heard us, it can fly. The horns, according to the SAR center, are apparently infused with some sort of magic that helps propel their feathered wings in order to keep them flying. If their horns get damaged or for some reason cut shorter, then their magic is depleted. So make sure to take care of them. Otherwise not much else is really known about the Floodeer. They retain some of the hardness from their shells on patches on their skin throughout their years. They shine when their body hits the light and creates a kaleidoscope of colors wherever they are. A very regal animal and a very loyal pet.
