Polenta
w/Roasted Red Pepper Sauce |
|
2 cups Bob's Red Mill brand Corn
Grits, aka Polenta |
|
2 jars Roasted Red Peppers, 12 Oz |
|
1 can Golden Roma Tomatoes, 28oz |
|
1/2 cup Shredded Cheese |
|
2 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
|
2 T Pine Nuts |
|
1 cup frozen sweet corn |
|
Salt to Taste |
|
Drain red peppers, add to blender with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and
a little salt. Blend to a homogenous texture. Transfer to a small
bowl and microwave on high for several minutes. Just until cooked
through. Add the can of tomatoes with juice to blender with 1
tablespoon of olive oil and a little salt. Then liquefy! (Do not
rinse blender between uses - leave the excess red pepper puree in
there!) Transfer to a large bowl, add 2 cups of Polenta, and 1 cup
frozen sweet corn, stir well and microwave on high for 10-15
minutes, in 3-4 minute increments - stirring frequently. It's done
when the polenta is no longer crunchy and a spoonful clings to the
spoon. Transfer the cooked polenta to a rectangular baking dish, at
least 9x11, top with the red pepper sauce, shredded cheese, pine
nuts, and serve! |
