    Chips and Salsa with a Twist

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This is an innovative twist on traditional chips and salsa. So cool for entertaining, no one had ever had anything like it. ... Warning to those with less than sophisticated grocery stores: Polenta may not be available. If not, look for "corn meal mush" in a tube. Pretty much the same thing. I sprinkled some dried seasoning on the "chips" before grilling. Turned out great.Read more

    Easy recipe and great flavor

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I really enjoyed this recipe! Easy ingredients and great flavor. I would suggust roasting the garlic first - it was a little... overpowering but not objectionable.Read more

    Good.

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I found it to be a little bland. Might try to make it again with a little more spice.

    Has become a staple in our house-so easy gotta try!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this once before, and made it again the other day. This time, I changed the onion to a shallot (I like the milder... flavor) and added a bit less oil, but it's so very good. Overall, this is one of my favorite munchies and a definite staple. It's a quick fix with everything just getting tossed into the food processor, and you can just suit your taste on it (add more capers or parsley if you like them, etc). I eat it with the polenta chips, pita chips (I make those often), and I use it as a sandwich spread (it's a great spread for hot or cold sandwiches I've found). I may take some this time and toss it into some warm pasta for a quick sauce... This is a must try--just let your taste lead the way.... Thanks Rachael for a great recipe with so many possibilities :)Read more
