yakima valley polenta

Well, this certainly looks good. But I am disappointed to say that it wasn't really worth the effort. I thought the flavors sounded like a weird combination when I read the recipe, and I wouldn't say they tasted bad together, but they didn't really combine into something new and delicious. When you break down the recipe, it is sauteed green beans and onions (kind of boring) with polenta and gorgonzola (good) topped with a balsamic-cherry reduction (good but overpowering). I was happy to have the excuse to buy some gorgonzola, and the reduction was good, but maybe could find a better dish to go with. It did remind me of how much I love polenta, even the tube kind.

Here's the recipe!
