Ingredients
- 1 cup Polenta (coarse cornmeal)
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 4 pieces Bacon slices
- 3 tbsp Sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp Fresh oregano leaves (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt.
Step 2
Gradually whisk in the polenta in a steady stream to avoid lumps. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, for about 15 minutes until thick and creamy.
Step 3
Once the polenta is cooked, stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
Step 4
While the polenta is cooking, prepare the bacon. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 5
When ready to serve, spoon the polenta onto a serving dish or individual bowls.
Step 6
Crumble the crispy bacon over the top of the polenta.
Step 7
Drizzle the sweet chili sauce generously over the bacon and polenta.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh oregano leaves for an herby finish and serve immediately.
