POLENTA WITH CHORIZO AND QUESO FRESCA
Oh my gosh YUM! What an awesome combination of flavors. Came from Sunset magazine. I left out the cilantro, cause I don't like it and used canned corn rather then frozen. Super easy to make. You gotta try it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Mix water, polenta and corn in 13x9x2 glass baking dish (I used 9x9) Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and stir to blend well.
- Bake 25 minutes, until water is absorbed and polenta is tender. Stir once within that time.
- While baking saute chorizo in large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking into small pieces with wooden spoon, about 6 minutes.
- Add cherry tomatoes to skillet. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until tomatoes soften, about 6 minutes.
- Uncover, crush some tomatoes with fork and stir. Simmer until tomatoes release juices and sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Spoon polenta onto plates, top with chorizo mixture, then cheese and cilantro.
- Serve hot.
