SMOKY CREAMY POLENTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Smoky Creamy Polenta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

I came up with this to make for my Veal Osso Bucco recipe # 54107. This is so creamy smooth real comfort food! It's got a slight warming kick from the chipotle sauce. Polenta was known as a meal for the poor. Corn was introduced to the south of what is now Canton Ticino (the Italian part of Switzerland) in the beginning of the 17th century, which led to a change in the monotonous cuisine. But it took another 200 years before polenta became the staple dish of the area.
