  • About

This Moorish dish may have come to France as far back as the Crusades. Combining polenta for its rich, dense texture and lemon for its sharp, sweet taste, it’s excellent served on its own, or with vanilla ice cream or a simple coulis of red summer fruits.

Ingredients

  • 100 g butter
  • 50 ml milk
  • 1 vanilla pod<

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Grease an ovenproof dish with a little of the butter. Warm the remaining butter and the milk in a saucepan. Cut the vanilla pod in half and scrape the seeds out of the pod into the milk. Place the polenta, flour and icing sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix together
