   I'm Judith. Today, I'm gonna be showing you how to make a Polenta Sausage Bowl, a really hearty and nutritious Italian dish. So what you're gonna need for this is 1 16-ounce tube of cooked polenta , 1 pound of bulk Italian sausage, 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 2 zucchinis which we've sliced lengthways, some salt and pepper to taste, some grated parmesan cheese to taste, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. So first things first. Let's get our polenta . Now, for people who don't know what polenta is, it's actually an Italian dish made with boiled cornmeal and you can fry polenta , you can grill it, and obviously you can boil that when you buy it in powder form, but we have it here and we sliced it into 12 slices. So, as you can see, we put it into 12 rings right here. Now, we've got a baking sheet right here, which we've lightly greased with some cooking spray, and all we're gonna do is place our polenta down onto that dish. So now we have our zucchini, and we're just gonna put that in on our dish with the polenta like so. So, let's get our cooking oil and we're just gonna brush our polenta and zucchini with our oil on both sides. And last but not least, let's just season that with some salt and pepper to your liking. I'm a big salt fan, so I usually put a little bit more than I should, but that's alright. So, a little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper. So, we're just gonna put our polenta and zucchini onto the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes. We'll turn it once halfway. We wanna get our polenta nice and golden brown and our zucchini nice and tender. While the polenta is under the broiler, let's get on with our meat. Now, here we have our Italian bulk sausage. So, bulk sausage is

   alternative, but I find that the pork works really well with the polenta , so that's why we're using it. So, we're gonna cook this until it begins to brown, and then after that, we're gonna

   through, and our vegetables are nice and tender. Well, we've taken our polenta and our zucchini out from under the broiler and all we've done is slice our zucchini crosswise like so. Now, our polenta has got a nice light brown color as you can see, so it's nice and crispy, looking fantastic, and our meat and veg are done as well. Those tomatoes have softened. They're nice and juicy. The meat is cooked through. So now it's time to plate up. This is my favorite part because I know I'm gonna be eating soon. So, all we can do is put some of our polenta down there. Now, as I said, there's so many ways you can cook polenta , with butter, with cheese, you know, with different things, vegetables, meat. Let's spoon some of our lovely sausage mushroom mixture on top
