Bits of sweet red pepper peek through these pretty polenta squares that have a slightly sweet corn flavor and are generously seasoned with sage. Serve this traditional ethnic side dish with Italian entrees...or even Southwestern fare, suggests our Test Kitchen staff.

6 Servings
Prep: 20 min. + chilling Cook: 25 min.

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon butter
3 cups water
1 cup fat-free milk
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil

Directions

In a large nonstick saucepan, saute the onion, red pepper and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in water and milk; bring to a boil over medium heat. Gradually whisk in cornmeal, whisking constantly to prevent lumping. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until cornmeal is tender.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, sage, salt and pepper. Spread into a 13-in. x 9-in. pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes or until firm.
Cut into 12 squares. In a large nonstick skillet, cook polenta in batches in oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield: 6 servings.
