Sausage and Peppers with Toasted Polenta image

Polenta, a staple of Northern Italy, is made from cornmeal. It has a soft, moist breadlike texture. We fried it, but you could also serve it soft, mixed with cheese.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 teaspoons canola oil, plus more for baking dish
8 links sweet Italian sausage (about 1 1/3 pounds)
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1 green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1/4-inch strips
1/4 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in cornmeal; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, whisking, until thick, 8 minutes. Transfer to an oiled 8-inch baking dish. Refrigerate until firm, 45 minutes or overnight.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook sausage until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add onion and peppers; cook over medium until onion is caramelized and sausage is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add oregano and 1/4 cup water to skillet; using a wooden spoon, scrape browned bits from bottom. Transfer mixture to bowl. Wipe skillet clean.
  • Cut polenta into 8 triangles. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of polenta until golden, 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and polenta. Serve hot with sausages, vegetables, and pan sauce.

I used leftover roast chicken instead of sausage and it was just as good.

I added some chopped spinach to the polenta and it was a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I used mild sausage instead of hot. It was still delicious and the peppers added a nice flavor.
