For the veggie stew visit Hungry-Girl website-for Thursday 2-05-09. The recipe for the polenta stuffed peppers is as follows-
-2 medium green peppers cut in half lengthwise
-2 cups of spinach roughly chopped
-2 cloves of garlic-chopped
-1 teaspoon olive oil,
-1/2C frozen corn kernels
- 1/2C chopped onions
-2-3tsp salt or to taste
-3/4C un-cooked polenta (instant or regular)
-4tsp grated parmesan
-Pre-heat oven to 375
-Spray a 9x13in pan with non-stick spray and place peppers in it.
Heat oil over medium heat-add garlic and onions and sautee until soft, add spinach until it starts wilting add corn and reduce heat-stir occasionally. Meanwhile boil water for polenta, add polenta and salt and cook according to package directions. Once polenta is cooked add in spinach and corn mixture and 2tsp of the parmesan cheese. Working while the mixture is still warm fill peppers with polenta mixture-top each pepper with 1/2tsp cheese, cover peppers with foil and bake for 20 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 10minutes or until peppers appear done and cheese is browned.
Enjoy with a side of the HG veggie stew. I topped mine with a T of light sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro.
