I had this recipe up on my blog a LOONG time ago when I was posting recipes that I wanted to try. When that proved impossible to keep track of, I switched to posting only food that I made or ate (soo much more manageable). I FINALLY got around to making this dish that I had tucked away on my wishlist. You can see my original post below with the complete recipe! I’ll add some edits that I made to the recipe (there were not many).

Martha Stewart’s OG Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
• 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, casing removed
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 3/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 tube (18 ounces) prepared polenta, cut into 1/4-inch rounds …or boil up some cornmeal and make your own polenta!
• 1/3 cup chicken stock
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley (optional), coarsely chopped

What do you do now?

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 5 minutes.
3. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, 8 minutes.
4. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.
5. Remove skillet from heat and stir in artichokes; season with salt and pepper.
6. In a 2-quart baking dish, layer polenta rounds and spoonfuls of sausage mixture. Pour stock over top and bake until bubbling and polenta is pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes

• I put some notes into the recipe already, but I realized that I made the polenta on my own! I used the polenta recipe from the Pork Ragu and Creamy Polenta Recipe 
• When the polenta is cooked in the pot, pour it into a baking sheet and even it out. Let it cool and you will get polenta cakes! I cut them into squares, but can cut them into circles like Martha Stewarts recipe
