Blend for 20 - 30 seconds on speed 9.

:-* Janine Babauskis shared this recipe with me but I don't know who created it. I do know I love it!

This looks really interesting. Does it really have ground coriander in it? How do you think nutmeg or cardamom would go in it?
-
Yep, ground coriander it does contain. I didn't have any when I first made this but I had loads of seeds so I made some fresh first.
I will admit I hate polenta (we call it placenta in our house) but I had to try this recipe for a demo I did; now I can't get enough of it. It has completely changed my view on polenta.
I am sure it could be substituted though with another flavour.
-
An interesting recipe. I'm sure it will be very handy for lots of people with intolerances.
-
from my understanding polenta has gluten so sadly no go here. Also all the sals..... *sigh* thanks though sounds different
-
Polenta is gluten free; it is simply maize (corn)
Excuse my computer illiteracy though... what is sals? I would hate to be advertising this as safe to eat if it isn't.

It is short for salicylates Sarah. I'm not up with all these failsafe terms but know that one.
-
Thanks for the name Judy, I looked it up on google after that tip.
So would the orange be no good then?
I have another recipe to post, may help, but no time tonight - sleep is calling.
-
From what I've read, yes they are high in salicylates. Perhaps someone who is in the know can explain a bit more about this.

Thanks so much for the recipe. DD2 and I have recently been diagnosed as intolerant to eggs :o I'm used to my wheat intolerance and her lactose intolerance - but this news was a bit of a blow, as I really can't get my head around no eggs. Now you've started me off in the right direction with this recipe.
