    I futzed around with this recipe enough that my note should be taken heavily salted, but for me this was ok but nothing special. It needed lots of salt. But: there is something good here. I probably won’t try it again, but I was happy to remember what a nice combination cumin and honey can be.

    Absolutely loved this dish! My polenta didn't set up very well and took some extra time to get tender and even with that effort didn't quite thicken like previous polenta experiences, but perhaps that was the brand/consensus, etc. Regardless, a very tasty dish! I was out of pepitas so subbed in sunflower seeds. Also added in some shrimp since we had some that needed to be used (I tossed the shrimp in some Sriracha which lead to a very nice addition of heat in the dish). The honey drizzle may have been the best part though, a perfect hit of sweetness! Definitely a dish I'd repeat!

    Loved this. Added the crispy fried egg per the recipe. The lime butter makes the dish and I recommend adding some chili as well. I cooked the polenta in the Instant Pot, pot-in-pot method but with the ingredients specified and it worked perfectly. I used Chili-Lime Cashews from Trader Joes instead of the pumpkin seeds and the chili flavor melted out into the lime butter perfectly.

    The polenta method on this is fantastic- definitely a new go-to. As far as the rest, my corn wasn't the best (obviously not the recipe's fault), so it didn't knock anyone's socks off, and it definitely needed a lot more lime and salt than called for. But it was easy and tasted good even with mediocre corn, so we'll be trying it again later in the season with hopefully some better produce.
