Finally posting my recipes from a few weeks ago. Polenta is one of my favorite things. It can be mixed with just about anything, sweet or savory :) These are tex-mex inspired...great with a side salad or Spanish rice.
Ingredients:
-4 red peppers, halved and seeded
-1 cup polenta
-3 cups water
-1/4 cup fat free sour cream
-2 oz. fat free cream cheese
-1/2 tsp. garlic powder
-salt and pepper, to taste
-grated cheddar or pepperjack cheese (optional)
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2) Cut and seed peppers. Arrange in a greased baking pan, inside facing up.
3) Boil water in medium pot. Add polenta, cover, and turn off burner. Remove after 3-5 minutes, or when the polenta becomes thick. Stir in sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, and salt/pepper.
4) Fill each red pepper half with the polenta mixture. Bake 25-30 minutes. Melt cheese over the top during the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired.
