Polenta Pie With Gorgonzola (For Two)

Serves 4 as Sideor 2 as Main Dish.

This recipe is my adaptation of a recipe from Saveur. The original recipe serves 6, but I have scaled it down to serve 2 as a main dish or 4 as a side.

• 1 tsp butter for pan
  
• 1/2 c polenta
  
• 10 oz can chicken broth (not reduced sodium)
  
• 2 T chopped, roasted bell peppers
  
• 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons chopped, roasted bell peppers (optional)
  
• 1/4 c crumbled gorgonzola cheese
  

1. Butter bottom and sides of a 5 inch cast iron skillet. Preheat oven to 350 and set skillet in oven.

2. In a saucepan, bring can of broth to a boil. Stir in polenta and cook over low heat until polenta is thick. Takes about 10 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and add peppers and cheese. Pour mixture into prepared pan.

4. Bake in a 350° oven for 15 minutes. Top with gorgonzola and cook for about 12-15 more minutes.
