I wanted Italian today. Thing is, I also needed to do a burger. What happened? Polentaburger. Burgolenta. Polurgerenta. Crap names, good burger.

• Round of firm polenta
• Swiss cheese
• Marinara sauce
• Basil leaves

I invested a good amount of time on the stove for this one. First the polenta (40 minutes) followed by the marinara (20 minutes). Verdict? Worthwhile. Totally. Polenta’s a bit strange on a burger, I will admit. The consistency is not all that different from the bun it’s under. Now, depending how you make it, the flavor is amazing. The marinara seals the meal. The only regret I have is that I made only one.

It’s like getting your fresh tomato, onion, and lettuce, only… different. With a big block of corn. CORN. (I smell a future burger in the works, baby.)
