In Honor of Loupiotte Kitchen: A Tribute to Our Best-Selling Creamy Polenta
Opening my first restaurant with my dear friend Sarah in Los Angeles was a dream come true. Loupiotte Kitchen quickly became a beloved spot, known for its cozy atmosphere and comforting dishes. Among our menu items, one dish stood out as the undisputed favorite: our creamy polenta.
A Hug in a Bowl
There's something magical about a dish that can evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, like a hug when you need it most. Our creamy polenta does just that. Its smooth, velvety texture combined with the rich flavors of crispy oyster mushrooms, perfectly poached eggs, and a generous helping of parmesan cheese creates an irresistible combination. To top it all off, we add a dash of CiCi Chili oil from Like Family, giving it a subtle, spicy kick that elevates the dish to another level.
The Perfect Blend of Flavors
The secret to our creamy polenta lies in its simplicity and the quality of its ingredients. Here’s how we put it all together:
Creamy Polenta: The base of our dish is made from the finest polenta, slow-cooked to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. This forms the foundation upon which the other flavors build.
Crispy Oyster Mushrooms: Sautéed to perfection, the oyster mushrooms add a delightful crunch and earthy flavor, providing a perfect contrast to the creamy polenta.
Poached Eggs: Two poached eggs are carefully placed atop the polenta, their runny yolks adding a rich, luxurious texture when broken open.
Parmesan Cheese: We don't hold back on the parmesan cheese. Its nutty, savory taste melds beautifully with the other ingredients, adding depth and complexity to the dish.
CiCi Chili Oil: A little bit of spicy oil goes a long way. The CiCi Chili oil from Like Family is our go-to choice, adding a touch of heat that balances the dish perfectly.
