Ingredients:
1 cup coarsely chopped bacon (about 7 slices) |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage |
1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels, thawed |
5 1/2 cups water |
1 cup polenta (coarse cornmeal) |
1/2 cup whipping cream |
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 1/2 teaspoons fat from skillet. Add sage; sauté 1 minute. Add corn; sauté 1 minute. Add 5 1/2 cups water; increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to low; cook until polenta begins to thicken, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Stir in cream, cheese, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
2. * Available at Italian markets, natural foods stores, and some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute an equal amount of regular yellow cornmeal, and cook mixture for about half the amount of time.
