Description

Spicy sweet hash cooled with creamy polenta and avocado slices. A perfect way to use an entire head of cabbage, if you happen to be stuck with one.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE HASH:
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Or Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 head Cabbage (small), Core Removed And Chopped (2 1/2 - 3 Cups)
  • 1 cup Chopped Onion
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seed Or 1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 pinch Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 cups Peeled, Cubed Sweet Potatoes (1/2-inch)
  • 1 package Pre-cooked Spicy-sweet Sausage (13 Oz)
  • ½ cups Purchased Or Homemade Pico De Gallo Or Chopped Tomatoes
  • ⅓ cups Chopped Cilantro
  • _____
  • FOR THE POLENTA:
  • 3 cups Low Sodium Chicken Or Vegetable Broth
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Uncooked Coarse Polenta Or Cornmeal
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • ¼ cups Grated Parmesan Or Romano Cheese
  • 1 whole Avocado (peeled, Pitted And Sliced)

Preparation

For the hash:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage & onion; cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables have softened and the onions are translucent. Add garlic, cumin seed, red pepper flakes and sweet potatoes. Cook, covered, for another 8-10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Stir in sausage, pico de gallo, and cilantro and cook another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve over hot polenta and top with a few avocado slices.

Serves 4-6.

For the polenta:

Bring the broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add salt, then add polenta in a small, steady stream while whisking. Continue whisking, reducing the heat to medium-low, until the polenta is lump-free and simmering. Cook for about 10 minutes, whisking often, until the polenta is thick and cooked through. Remove from heat and add butter and cheese; stir until they melt. Cover to keep warm until ready to serve.

This was quite good, and easy too! This was my first time making polenta and it came out well.

I did have to change it up a bit as I only had uncooked spicy sausage. I browned that, then added in the cabbage and onion, then finished the recipe as written. Our spicy sausage was REALLY spicy (beware the Kroger brand spicy sausage… they really mean spicy!) so I didn’t add the red pepper flakes.
