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).

These were good, but not great. The polenta filling was a bit bland and the peppers were a bit tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made these polenta-stuffed peppers a few times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The filling is so creamy and cheesy and the peppers add a nice bit of spice. I like to serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a mix of red and yellow peppers and the colors looked beautiful on the plate. The polenta filling was simple but flavorful and the peppers were roasted perfectly.

I'm not a huge fan of peppers, but these were delicious! The polenta filling was the perfect balance of creamy and cheesy, and the peppers added a nice bit of crunch. I'll definitely be making these again.

These polenta-stuffed peppers were a hit! The peppers were roasted to perfection and the polenta filling was creamy and flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic and herbs to the filling for a more robust flavor.
