Polenta Cakes

Ingredients
1 Packaged Polenta roll
2 tbsps of Butter
Salt, Pepper, and Garlic powder to taste

Directions
1.) Heat the butter in a medium pan under medium heat.
2.) While waiting for the butter to melt,  cut the Polenta roll into about 1/2 discs.
3.) Season both sides of the discs with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4.) Put discs in the frying pan and allow to cook for about 1-2 minutes per side or until golden brown.

TIP
-To elevate the cakes, add gravy on top.
Our gravy is a simple rue of 2 tbsps of Butter and flour that is cooked until golden brown. We used Vegetable broth to mix with the rue base. Stir together and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. We had extra red onions left over from the green beans, so we added them in as well.

It's ready when it's thick and everything is combined.
