Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/3 cups crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 1/4 cups water
1 cup polenta (coarse yellow cornmeal) or regular cornmeal
1 1-pound bag frozen yellow corn kernels, thawed
1 pound fresh link chorizo sausage, casings removed
1 pound cherry tomatoes (about 3 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss cheese and cilantro in small bowl. Mix 3 1/4 cups water, polenta, and corn kernels in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and stir to blend well. Bake until water is absorbed and polenta is tender, stirring once, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, sauté chorizo in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, breaking into small pieces with side of wooden spoon, about 6 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes to skillet. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until tomatoes soften, about 6 minutes. Uncover; crush some tomatoes with fork. Simmer until tomatoes release juices and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Spoon polenta onto plates. Top with chorizo mixture, then cheese mixture.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more spice from the chorizo or some other ingredient.

This recipe was a disaster! The polenta was lumpy and the chorizo was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The polenta was a bit bland and the chorizo was too greasy. I wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the chorizo added a nice smoky flavor. I would recommend using less chorizo if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a fan of chorizo, so I used ground sausage instead. It turned out great! The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the sausage and queso fresco were delicious. I will definitely be making this again with sausage.
