I don't care for grits, but I love polenta! Who knew they were the same thing? This recipe is made of wholesome ingredients and is so easy. The jalapenos, if properly seeded, add a lot of flavor without added heat. Serve this alongside your tex-mex dishes in place of rice or potatoes. Ingredients:
5 cups water or 5 cups chicken stock |
1 cup coarse-ground cornmeal |
1 ears of corn, shucked or 1/2 cup frozen corn |
1 -2 jalapeno, seeded and minced |
2 tablespoons butter |
3/4-1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Whisk cornmeal into water, cook until cornmeal comes together and is creamy 5-10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile prepare peppers, and grate cheese.
4. Add corn, pepper, cheese, butter, and salt. Butter a small-medium baking dish.
5. Pour polenta into baking dish and bake 30-45 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil until bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
