Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup coarsely chopped bacon (about 7 slices)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 10-ounce package frozen corn kernels, thawed
5 1/2 cups water
1 cup polenta (coarse cornmeal)*
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 1/2 teaspoons fat from skillet. Add sage; sauté 1 minute. Add corn; sauté 1 minute. Add 5 1/2 cups water; increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to low; cook until polenta begins to thicken, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Stir in cream, cheese, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
  • Available at Italian markets, natural foods stores, and some supermarkets. If unavailable, substitute an equal amount of regular yellow cornmeal, and cook mixture for about half the amount of time.

This dish freezes well, so it's perfect for make-ahead meals. I like to make a big batch on the weekend, and then freeze it in individual portions for easy weeknight dinners.

I made this recipe without the bacon, and it was still delicious. The sage and Parmesan cheese added plenty of flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

I made a few modifications to this recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat polenta and turkey bacon, and I omitted the butter. It was still delicious, and I felt good about eating it.
