Chef Christian Pritchard cooked up a hearty, vegetarian polenta that is a great dish to feed a crowd.
I come in with my pal executive chef Christian pitchard I’m like what are we doing he’s like wait I don’t know I don’t know anything that’s going on I have nothing that’s going on I’ve done this a few times Tim too and usually you ask the questions on
Air yeah he’s like stop asking questions we’ll do it for the people yeah we’re going to have fun people okay uh what do you got well it’s the new year right so everyone’s trying you know not trying you’re going to do better ways of eating
So you know what I made for you today instant Penta now ask me all about as I do my job watch this planta it’s it’s the thin it’s instant plant is a small form of the Corn so it’s fine that’s why it can cook so fast as opposed to Grit
Take a look there that’s what it is yes it is now I’m going to put it out on the board look at this everybody everybody come on animal help me out whoa can I hear the control room ooh ah ah yeah there you go now Tim what you’re going
To do is like the lovely man you are and I got salad over there too salad see as you know our good buddy Ted rer is coming here too he calls me salad boys is a very nice looking salad what are you doing okay what spreading out the pl
Cuz this will harden very quickly this in hardens not not hardens but it become a little bit more stiff you know now I made an incredible Sugo so Tomatoes I use jarder of like onions and hot peppers it’s just a sauce come on call it a sauce as my wife always says she
Goes you work in Italian but remember Christian we are English she’s like stop so you do you really you know so here we go every again I need everybody’s like look at this it looks like meat but the meat this is from the mushroom so there’s no meat in there
That’s just that no and what I want you to do and everybodys this is ancient Italian food from the North in fact a lot of people in north of Italy are called the pentin meaning like the the corn eaters I was there last this is
Kind of like a Milan that kind of area in little barbaresco kind exactly now I’m going to bring a little tuskin in here so you’ve got this is tusin beans okay so it’s you know garlic some um I do mixed beans we can do chick beans you
Can do H calini which your white kidney look at this wow so this is instant goodness now I I just love this and the idea is you put this on your table this is the way the Italians do it and you you know they would eat right off table
We can take it out now little bit of oil olive oil okay Timmy I need some cheese on there sir cheese what do we got uh Pano p folks here’s the thing you can use some old old cheddar but you want do it that way you’re add the salt Factor
Right look at that Tim nice job how’s it look everybody now some freshly cut parsley Italian parsley okay isn’t that amazing and so you do this we’ve got the oil on there so what I want you to do now Tim is we’re going to take this grab a a plate
There how easy was this and I mean it I mean literally easy I want you to see I put it the penta in a container so I can drop drop it in while you’re like this in the water you could use milk you could do some cheese but water’s just
Fine now watch this in in a few minutes if we had it it hardens a little bit more but you’re going to do this right on your plate right on the plate right on your plate like this so you can put this in the middle let’s say in the
Middle of the dining table and then everybody can help themselves and anyone who’s seen me do this you’re going to think I’m niut I’ve done ones as big as this whole bar and then Italians will have we being Canadians we fun they have their own paddles to move it all down
The board I use a hockey stick of course you do and you know all my that’s great what about a guitar look at this little guitar how how good is that it’s my spatula guitar how many guitars you got at home two many a couple what do you think what do you you

Somebody else is making a salad just yeah so much tast no and we were just talking about that Tim and the funny thing I think it is is that you see a pilot it’s really easy the components of that are great greens some balsamic reduction cheese some apple you know
Orange zest you got a little little orange throw Orange death on there because you’re you’re giving a parallel taste to everything too right okay how simple is this like seriously go for it I’m going in get nervous now is he going to like it folks and you know what being
Down here in Hamilton Niagara the people they know this yes good awesome good see that’s I like you know what I like too I like how there’s little meat in there yeah you know what I mean like I am a heavy meat eater but if you can come up with some
