InstantPot Sage and Pea Polenta

Growing up we never had polenta at the table, but we did have grits. And let me tell you, they were the type of grits that take a few months off of your life after every bite. So when I started making polenta for myself and Dr Miller, I wanted to make sure that they tasted great but were completely whole food plant-based and health-promoting. So I started experimenting with different flavors and found some that really worked well.

I will also mention that if you do not have an InstantPot this recipe can be done on the stove. You will want to make sure you keep the polenta on a low-medium heat for 30-40 minutes and are stirring frequently while it cooks. I will hopefully be sharing some more polenta recipes later this Fall and Winter, but for now, I hope you enjoy my super simple and delicious Sage and Pea Polenta.
