Polenta Cakes with Red Bell Pepper Sauce

Red Bell Pepper Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 Red Bell Pepper
• ½ Red Onion
• 3 large mushrooms
• 1 tbsp miso paste

Directions

Remove stem and ribs from red bell pepper.  Blend all the sauce ingredients until smooth.  If you blend right before serving, the blender will make the sauce warm.  You can make in advance and warm on the stove top before serving.

Polenta

Ingredients

• 1 cup polenta (corn grits)
• 3 cups water

Directions

Bring water to a boil.  Slowly stir in the polenta and turn temperature to low.  Stir frequently until the polenta gets thick (about 30 minutes or less).  Add polenta to a scone pan, I love my cast iron one and lightly oil it.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.  It will slightly crispy on top.

Serve the warm polenta with the red sauce over it.
