recipe source, unkown. my husband in the title is not referring to my husband :-p (it's whoever created this recipe). Ingredients:
1 cup polenta, not instant please |
1 cup milk or (if you dare) cream |
3 cups low sodium low fat chicken broth |
1 cup shredded cheese - this can be cheddar, swiss, gouda, or some other |
medium moisture cheese. i don't recommend brie or other soft cheeses. nor |
very hard cheeses. |
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes |
1/4 cup white wine - neutral flavor |
1/2 onion, chopped |
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped |
2 stalks celery, chopped |
heavy pinch salt |
2 tbsp olive oil |
pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. set oven to 350F (325F if a convection oven)
2. Soak the sun dried tomatoes in the wine for 10 minutes or so
3. In an oven-proof sauce pan, keeping in mind that it will need to hold at
4. least six cups of 'stuff'
5. sweat the onion and celery in the oil with the salt
6. when soft, add the garlic
7. chop the tomatoes and add them and the soaking liquid to the sweat
8. Add broth and cream and bring to a boil
9. sprinkle on the polenta and bring back to a boil
10. put on a lid and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. (If you like your polenta
11. more grainy, just lower the temp and cook on the stove. I like mine more
12. creamy.)
13. Remove from the oven and stir in the cheese.
14. Correct seasoning.
