    After watching Brian Boitano's show on Sunday Sept. 20th, I made the dish the very next day. My boyfriend and friend LOVED it!!! I actually bought an already made polenta roll from Trader Joe's and I just made the relish and I actually used chicken sausage which came out beautifully. Thank you Brian Boitano for creating this AMAZING dish!!!!

    i'm hooked on the show after one viewing ... great humor, great recipes, great personality. i tried this recipe this evening, though, and something went wrong. i ended up using about two and a half cups of polenta (instead of the one it called for, and it STILL never thickened. i had to drain the broth in the sink before it was even a little thick. and even then it wouldn't set up in the fridge. i had to freeze it to finish it up. i ended up working over two hours on the whole thing.

    i could be doing something wrong here. anyone have any ideas?

    will keep watching the show, though. great job, brian.

    I didn't have the polenta and used a recipe to make polenta with yellow corn meal. I made two mistakes, one; used too small a pan and it was too thick and two; I used to much oil to fry the polenta. However, my husband who looks at me suspiciously any time I make something he hasn't tried before thought the saugage and pepper relish was great. I will try again with the polenta and also intend to use the relish in other dishes. Thanks, the show is great.

    I made this as a football appetizer for my hsuband yesterday. I messed up the polenta...so but it on toasted french bread instead. It was great. The relish is wonderful with the spicey sausage.

    This was very good. I was especially impressed with the sweet onion-pepper relish. The perfect complement to the sausage, and the crunch of the fried polenta added another dimension of texture. Just a really cool recipe. You are a very talented chef!

    I could not find quick cooking Polenta so I used regular and made double the amount. I froze the left over squares. Has anyone every done that?
    Secondly, how long do you think the relish will last? Thanks!

    I put this in my MasterCook9 recipe program cause it reads so darn good. I did wonder about the 6 servings that the recipe indicates. After entering it in my program, the nutrition guide came up with a whopping 1201 calories and 103 grams of fat per serving (159% of a day's allowance. I am guessing this serves far more than 6 people. Even changing the serving size to 16 servings, it was 450 calories per serving. That said, I am going to try it but plan on either cutting it in half or using it when I have a lot of people over.

    I deducted stars only because of the apparent glitch in the serving size.

    I am enjoying the show and Brian's light-hearted approach to cooking. Please, Food Network, let's not over-expose him as has happened with so many of your on-air personalities.

    Absolutely delicious! Sweet and spicy. The perfect bite. And for all you nay-sayers, do what I do when that hack Rachael Ray is on - change the channel. No one is hoakier and more contrived than that fool. At least Brian has interesting recipes.
