Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 red or yellow bell peppers, large poblano chiles, or a combination
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup coarse cornmeal or polenta
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup fresh or canned, drained corn kernels
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere

Steps:

  • Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Slice each chile in 1/2 from stem end to blossom end. Arrange in a shallow, buttered baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cornmeal and stir to mix. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the cream, corn, basil, cilantro, salt, and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the polenta becomes as thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Fill the bell peppers with the polenta. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and the Gruyere. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Serve hot. (The peppers can be stuffed and baked the preceding day. To serve, bring to room temperature and reheat at 350 degrees F, for about 12 minutes).

I added a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the polenta stuffing. It made the peppers even more cheesy and delicious.

I'm not a fan of sausage, so I used ground beef instead. It worked out just as well.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover polenta. I always have some leftover polenta in my fridge, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I had a hard time finding polenta at my local grocery store. I ended up using cornmeal instead, and it worked out just fine.

The polenta was a bit too dry for my liking. I would add more milk or broth next time.

These peppers were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

These polenta-stuffed peppers were a hit with my family! The combination of sweet peppers, creamy polenta, and savory sausage was delicious. I especially loved the crispy Parmesan crust on top.
