  We have enjoyed this tasty meal regularly over the winter, though usually add a few more pitted kalamata olives

  Made this for dinner yesterday, with some venison and herb sausages. It turned out well, but I felt the sauce lacked some sweetness, maybe a teaspoon or so of redcurrant jelly? I suspect passata may vary in sweetness from brand to brand too, this may be why my sauce lacked in the sweetness that goes so well with venison.

  Very tasty but I do second Siri's comment that the sauce was lacking a little something. I might add a slug of balsamic next time. The quantity of polenta was quite shocking too. Even my ceaselessly gluttonous husband struggled to clear his plate. It was delicious, though...although I've seen this recipe elsewhere mentioning the addition of some parmesan to the polenta just before serving and I would certainly give that a try next time too. You can never have too much umami!

  Good recipe but never use quick cook polenta! Although it takes longer the taste is far better....
