Serves: 20 polenta cakes
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups uncooked polenta
  • water
  • salt
  • pepper
Instructions
  1. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
  2. Cook 1½ cups of uncooked polenta according to the package directions (will vary depending on type, mine took 5 minutes). Make sure to season well with salt and pepper.
  3. Once cooked spread the polenta into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish allow to cool. Place in refrigerator and allow to chill until ready to use.
  4. When it's time to serve, cut the polenta into 20 equal squares and gently remove from the pan.
  5. Coat a non stick skillet, griddle, or grill pan with cooking spray and sear each polenta square until the outside is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  6. Top each square with ½ oz of shredded beef ribs and top with some of the onion from the cooking liquid. Garnish with fresh pomegranate arils and parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
WW Points Info: Makes 20 polenta cake squares. Each square is 1 WW SmartPoint for both the Blue and Green WW plans.

1 polenta cake = 1 point
½ oz cooked shredded beef short ribs = 1 point
I didn't use any additional cooking liquid on top so I personally wouldn't count a point for it.
