Smoky, Savory, Cheesy Polenta

Dear Turkey,

Polenta is quick,

Tasty, and it's actually

Really good for you

Smoky, Savory, Cheesy Polenta

(serves 1)

Ingredients:

- 1 t olive oil

- 1 t minced garlic (I used jarred)

- 1 t herbs of your choice (I used fresh rosemary)

- 1/2 c cornmeal (I used Bob's Red Mill Coarse Ground)

- 2 c veggie broth (I used Better than Bouillon No-Chicken)

- 1-2 T canned adobo chili peppers in their sauce, or to taste

- 1/2 c shredded parm 

Instructions:

- In a nonstick pan (trust me), heat the oil, garlic, peppers, herbs (and, if you're using a broth concentrate like I did, you can throw that in now). Cook for 2-3 minutes on high heat until the garlic starts to brown.

- Add the cornmeal and stir it for a few seconds; try to get it to toast a bit without burning it if you can. Then add the broth (or water). 

- Cook for 2-3 minutes on high heat, stirring often, and then add the cheese. Reduce heat and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency, about 5 more minutes. Try to let a little layer of it get dark before stirring it in a few times if you can. Season to taste.

- Top with more cheese and herbs and serve. 

Enjoy,

Tofu
