Autumn recipe idea – gluten-free Mexican polenta with bacon. So it is that time of the year again. That time when I spend quite a lot of time in my head. You know that place where it is all hot, sunny, sandy beaches, blue waters, fruits, cocktails and all that good, good food. Recently I have been thinking that the ‘in my head place’ might be Mexico. Especially perfect if it came with a side helping of refried beans, sweetcorn and chipotle. So much so that I woke up in the middle of the night to write down the idea of this Mexican polenta with bacon recipe, and even sketch out the photography set up.

The recipe for this Mexican polenta is easy. Fry the best bacon in the world (aka smoky spoiltpig bacon), add in some sweet corn, spring onions, tomatoes and smoky chipotle paste. Add the mix along with some refried beans to some creamy cheesy polenta, bake for a 20 mins and you are done. It is like bacon and Mexican food and polenta heaven in every single mouthful. So, so good. Chek out the video below. Oh and if you prefer you can get some pre-cooked polenta from the supermarket. Makes this dish even easier to whip up. Please, please, please make it and enjoy every mouthful. Ooh, and I have some great news for you bacon lovers.
