Polenta Lasagna Loaf - Food Wishes

- I’ve never been a huge fan of polenta. And that’s because as a kid I used to get it slightly undercooked, which gives it a sandy texture, and bitter aftertaste. That’s not an issue here, since we boil and bake, which makes it sweet, soft, and absolutely delicious, especially layered into a lasagna. Enjoy!

Oh my God. As a gluten free person who hasn't had lasagna in over five years, you have just measurably increased my quality of life, Chef John. Thank you for pushing through that first tragedy to bring us this blessing!
I am impressed you never heard of lasagnas made out of aubergines
Don't the sell gluten free lasagna noodles?
Also the Chinese have thick rice noodles that are sold in (folded) sheets in some Chinese groceries.
@@LuizFelipe-lk1hs Oh I've heard of it. It just doesn't hit the same spot as lasagna, for me. It's more of a ratatouille, to my tastes.
@@recoil53 Believe me, I've tried it all. Thanks for your suggestions, but I really have tried it all. At least polenta is something I already know I love, and it hits that "Italian" note, you know?
When I'm doing low carb I replace my lasagna noodles with thin sliced deli ham.
I always love when chefs include impromptu learning opportunities in their how-to's.
I’ve never seen chef John cannibalize a kitchen disaster in real time though. That was hilarious 😆
Very few chefs/cooking channels will show mistakes as they don’t want to be seen as anything less than perfect. Chef John is one of very few that not only shows his mistakes (he owns them), but teaches us how to not repeat them. He uses them as learning experiences and/or teachable moments. Also they are funny as hell. Much respect for this man.

Quick tip: a layer of sauce going down first may prevent sticking just like with regular lasagna. Just as thought, and one I plan on trying when I make this one for the first time...
So let's talk worst kitchen disasters. Pony up guys. I'll start off. I was doing a cooking demonstration in front of maybe a 1,000 people making guacamole. I was trying to cut up avocados and talk at the same time. Well, I sliced my hand open pretty good. I didn't miss a beat in my commentary and my assistant stepped right in and took over the cooking. I applied pressure and she made the guacamole.
Sometimes, I think Chef John has psychic abilities. I was just, five minutes ago, looking at the leftover corn meal I have and wondering what I should do with it. Now, I know because I also have some leftover ricotta mixture and some sauce from some lasagne I made previously.
“I grabbed a fork and started to rage-eat.”
I thought I was the only one who did that!!
Cornmeal mush with some feta or other cheese and maybe a fried egg is just such a delicious comfort dinner. Sometimes we add fried potatoes too.
When he showed the cutting board transfer fail, it reminded me of my first few omelet attempts. It was still a delicious plate of scrambled eggs.
Mama always said " ain't no disaster like a polenta disaster"! What a winner, I am for sure making this! Thanks for all you do Chef, you are a real treasure. 🤣
Right on time. Bought 2 boxes of polenta and idk what to do with it
you've just sealed the fate of that bag of polenta that i had no idea what to do with. thanks!
I like how Chef John covered up the cracks with the layer of tomato sauce, instead of covering up the entire top. It reminds me of a flag.
I hadn't heard of polenta lasagna, but it sounds tempting! The failure of the rollover would not stop me from eating 😋
maybe an olive oil spray might prevent that.
This is literally a combination of two of my favorite flavors and textures EVER!! For me Polenta and Lasagna? OMG!!

I'm going to try this in a spring-form pan. Looks like a true winner!
The sauce correction looks as if the sauce should always be there on top! Made it look extra delicious. Another 3-pointer for Chef John!
It's been years since I've eaten polenta... This is perfect to eat it again 🤤

A real chef is willing to admit their mistakes. I’m making this with moms gravy that has short ribs and Italian sausage with our favorite polenta that has the pheasant on the label.
Just made this recipe. Holy s*@t!!! As someone who was raised in an Italian family, and having eaten flour based lasagna forever...this is simply amazing. AND you dont feel like passing our right when youre dont eating! The corn gives such a wonderful flavor that all the ingredients seem to love! Thanks Chef John.
we.....ENNNNNNNjoyyyyed it.
My husband follows your recipes and I’m so glad he does! We made the Polenta Lasagna Loaf for dinner tonight and we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It! It is now our new favourite! Thank you so much for the marvellous idea!
Did it stay servable or was it runny? I plan on making this tonight and was wondering if adding a beating egg (when cool enough to do so) to the polenta would help keep it together better
@@G-man45444 If you follow the directions exactly it turns out beautifully
I remember something like this from my grandmother using mashed potatoes instead of the polenta
Hi
With mashed potato it would start to resemble shepherd’s pie.Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua
I love polenta so much, it's a must in romania with many many meals. I usually add it to boiling water, stir a lot and thrn let it cook on medium low heat covered for 10 min and done! I like it runny with some feta sprinkled on it.
mamaliga : )
Do you have "instant polenta" in romania? I add it to boiling water and it's done in just a minute or two.
You are the Marty McFly of your Corn pie
I did not expect Chef John to admit that sometimes he biffs it in the kitchen and ends up rage eating a fail. A relatable king!
My husband follows your recipes and I’m so glad he does. We had your Polenta Lasagna Loaf for dinner tonight and we LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! It! Chef John, you are a amazing! Thank you for all the pleasure you bring us in your hilarious dialogue!
10 minute video, with 1 minute of Chef eating the result! It *must* be good!!! I'm trying instead of pasta lasagna next time!
Try putting a layer of provolone slices on the top with oregano and Parmesan for the last 20 mins or so. It makes a nice bubbly top.
Lasagna soufflé!😀 Looks delicious! Thank you so much Chef John!
Growing up we would always set the polenta in the fridge in a bread pan and then heat it up in the oven before serving with sunday's marinara sauce and a dollop of ricotta or cottage cheese. Best in the summer with grilled zucchini, summer squash, and tomatoes on the side, but other grilled or roasted vegetables are pretty ok.
Hey my Dads family was from Cheshvika. He would make polenta all the time. But he would use a fist size potato diced very fine in the water and cook it till done. Then mash is in the pan water for the polenta, then he add the polenta as you did. Our main dish was pork country ribs and sourcrout spices garlic black pepper salt to taste after pork was tender. Then serve over polenta. Any left over polenta was put in a loaf pan and fried in slices in butter and then maple syrup over it. Very good!
Just a suggestion: to prevent lasagna from sticking to the bottom of the pan, I always put in a layer of sauce first- usually with some water mixed in to make it runny-ish. However, even the ruined version looked absolutely delicious.
I am going to be trying this tonight!! I saw your twitter post of the "messup" and could not wait for you to post the final outcome! Either way it turned out to be a beauty. Aesthetically or not, it just ends up in your mouth :)
@2:55 Chef John, you must trim that and fry it! Leave them french-fry-shaped and just fry them until crispy. They're called "polenta frita" here in Brazil and it's an amazing gluten free fried snack. Goes grate with pepper jam.
Looks so delicious!
The settled polenta or funchi as its called in Aruba goes well with fish and/or soup
I have to try this! Grew up eating cornmeal mash. 😁 still like it.
Chef John, very nice filling budget meal, folks are going to be looking for these, may have to leave out the parm & meat

That really looks amazing. And thank you for showing us your mistakes.

I so love polenta! Making this tonight!!!
For some reason I want to try this with a bacon and buttered panko crumble topping.
My very good friend Mrs. Rodriguez would bring this dish to every party or get-together. Always a crowd pleaser!
Oh my.....the possibilities this whole dish has made run through my mind. Bravo Chef John, I am running to the grocery store!!!
These videos make me so happy and calm
That somewhat resembles tamale pie. I think I'd put grated cheese on top before baking and not try to unmould it. Looks like it would be best served from the pan, as is.
Thanks for keepin' it real Chef 🙏🏼👍
this looks amazing...! i already love polenta, so this is like having two of my fave foods at the same time.
This looks like a Gorgeous recipe. Thank you Chef John!
I love the sharing of imperfections in the process! This is how we learn and improve our skills. Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼
Lasagna is my favourite food and I do so Love It when a Chef presents a take on Lasagna that I've never seen before - I really am going to try this soon and I'm going to enjoy it :) Thanks Chef!
It looks amazing! Dying to try it.
I love polenta in all forms so this looks fantastic to me! Can’t wait to try it.

4:20 an ultra rare sped up footage appeared!
I adore polenta! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
THAT. LOOKS. INCREDIBLE. 😋😋😋😛
Sensational dish Chef! You make a great narrator AND teacher of the culinary kind. Your tutorials help me be the 'michelin of my own kitchen'! (Well that sounded better in my head).
After a decade of watching Chef John and making his amazing dishes, it still amazes me that he doesn't know how vocal inflections work in the English language.
Looks awesome! Will learn from your misake(s) and use parchment paper, thanks so much Chef!
Thank you. This looks delicious. 😎
I can't wait to make this! Thank you Chef John!
This dish, the polenta lasagna, was the one I simply couldn't pass by. I had to subscribe! I will enjoy this soon, thanks.
Looks better than regular lasagna! My stomach is growling.
Just now assembled this and put it in the fridge. I had all the ingredients except parsley. For the sauce I browned some sausage and mixed it into Prego (if it turns out OK I'll make a proper sauce). I used a much smaller loaf pan and filled it all the way to the top. I expect a messy boiled over disaster but that's what foil-lined baking sheets are for. Can't wait to bake and eat later.
I thought I liked polenta but I see what Chef John means by a slightly bitter taste.
Wanted to add that very grateful that you added the polenta tip to cook ahead of time and describe the reason why🙏🏻
It always helps to know the reasoning so that we don’t push forward too fast with our food every step has a rational ritual behind it:)
Looks delicious chef John.
Chef John, I’ve never seen you have such a hard time’ it looks delicious though!
one of the most delicious things Ive had is funchi. They take the polenta and make slices like you did, than cut them fry size, and fry them in oil. Add spices and youve got a delicious snack
Definitely doin this, i have polenta that i've been trying to fin ways to use besides with a steak or braised pork and this is freaking perfect. I love you chef john
This looks soooo good!
Looks utterly delicious.

as a brazilian, I never though I'd see polenta lasagna, but I'm glad I did!
Even in pieces it looks good
This looks delicious. I love how the first sheet pan still had the tickets on the bottom.

Looks delicious!
I want to make that asap. I love Lasagne and I love polenta. Wow, that looks amazing, Chef!
I can't wait to try making this!
Smiling/fabuloso! Very delicious looking!
I’m mostly vegetarian these days, so I can roasted mushrooms as a substitute for the meat/ Laughing because I love that you include in perfection and such in a storybook way
that we are all the same
trying to make a good meal very tasty and attractive!
New to the Gluten Free world and missing pasta. I’m really excited to try this! Thank you for sharing!
that's awesome.
thank you.
I have a baked Polenta, Sausage and Peppers dish I love and save the juices from my pre-fried Sausage to make a Gypsy Sausage Gravy to pour over dish. This recipe however, by far caught my heart! I can't wait to try it. I can taste it now! A divine dish I'm sure! Thank you for sharing! Excellent! :-)
Thank you as always, sir. This one is incredibly versatile, gluten free and I can't wait to try it out!
"Using a pizza wheel or a very dull knife..."
(The back of a flipped sharp one works as well!)
Thanks for the recipe, I enjoy watching it and brought to my mind, great memories of my mom, she prepare polenta and I am sorry to say I didn't like it very much, but now I would eat it in a minute, thanks again, bye
Excellent recipe
Amazing Chef John! You are my go to for recipe techniques and ideas. It would be amazing to see you and J. Kenji Lopez collaborate. Keep it up.
Very nice recipe 👍
The best tasting foods are usually terrible looking messes! Thank you, Chef John, for letting us see the mistakes so we understand it's okay! 🥰🥰🥰
You outdid yourself with this one
oooh man i was laughing so hard 😂😂 that was awesome! thanks for showing us that
Skip the flip and cook it in a similar size glass dish and serve it directly from said vessel Easy to store in the fridge too
You could cut into the lasagna like meatloaf out of the pan. Still looks delicious.
