Recipe #42: Ring Sausage with Polenta Pucks

The new discovery was polenta -- a Northern Italian answer to Pasta.  It looks like a 1 lb tube of hamburger only it's corn yellow and is actually MADE from corn.  It works pretty well for anything pasta works for.  In this case, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, mushroom and diced tomato, sauted.  Chill and cut a tube of polenta into 10 1/2" pucks.  Grill them like a hamburger patty along with a ring of sausage --  we used a ring of Hungarian Kielbasa my Bro-in-law gave us.  GOOD STUFF!  Anyway, you cut up the sausage and toss it with the veggies until it's all nice and warm, then serve it over the polenta pucks.  Not bad, but it would be better to take the veggies and sausage and mix them in with marinara and pour THAT over the polenta.  Actually I understand polenta is best with lots of sauce, and the veggies in this recipe are pretty sauce-less.
