POLENTA:

3 cups vegetable stock

1 cup cornmeal

VEGETABLES:

1 medium red bell pepper -- cut into quarters

1 medium yellow pepper -- cut into quarters

1 medium red onion -- sliced

16 ounces small zucchini (8-oz each) -- halved lengthwise

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small garlic bulb (head) -- top 1/2-inch cutoff

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 ounces goat cheese (chevre)

 

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable

spray. Line a large baking sheet lined with foil.

 

2. In a deep saucepan over medium-high heat, bring stock to a boil. Reduce

heat to low; gradually whisk in cornmeal. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

Pour into baking dish, smoothing top; chill.

 

3. In a bowl combine red pepper, yellow pepper, onion, zucchini and olive

oil; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Wrap garlic loosely in foil; add to

baking sheet. Roast vegetables in preheated oven, turning occasionally, for

45 minutes or until tender. Squeeze garlic out of skins; chop remaining

vegetables. Transfer all to a bowl. Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar; toss to

coat well.

 

4. Turn polenta onto cutting board; cut into 4 squares. In a large nonstick

frying pan sprayed with vegetable spray, cook polenta over medium-high heat

for 2 minutes or until golden. Turn; cook for 1 minute. Spoon polenta onto

NOTES : Chevre is a white, tart flavored cheese made from goat's milk. They

are marketing a " cows milk " " chevre " - so check the label. Chevre is 15%

milk fat. So it's a lower-fat cheese with lots of flavor
