Polenta-Stuffed Poblano Peppers image

Ever since the economic atmosphere went down the drain, we have been keeping an eye out for low-cost recipes. This one comes from Real Simple - we liked this a lot! The poblanos are just spicy enough that you know it, and the polenta is smooth, creamy and comforting - I use regular cornmeal and it turns out just fine.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 plum tomatoes, halved
1 red onion, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
kosher salt and pepper
1/2 cup instant polenta
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
1/4 cup soft fresh goat cheese (2 ounces)
4 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. On a rimmed broiler-proof baking sheet, toss the tomatoes, onion, and oil; turn the tomatoes cut-side down. Place the peppers on the sheet, cut-side down. Broil until tender and charred, stirring the onions and turning the tomatoes and peppers halfway through, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 400°F In a food processor, puree the tomatoes, onion, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Spread half the sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the peppers in the dish, cut-side up.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/4 cups water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually whisk in the polenta. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the corn, cheese, and all but 2 tablespoons of the scallions.
  • Divide the polenta among the peppers. Top with the remaining sauce and bake until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions before serving.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I love these stuffed poblano peppers! The polenta stuffing is so flavorful and the poblano peppers add a nice smokiness. I always make a double batch so I have leftovers for lunch the next day.
