Prep time 15 minutes

Cook time 30 minutes

Serves 4

 

Parmesan polenta

5 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock

1 heaping cup polenta

2-3 tablespoons butter

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Sausage, peppers, and tomatoes

1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Chopped Tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 pound andouille sausage, sliced (about 4 links)

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

 

Get the polenta started first. Bring the stock to a simmer and add the polenta. Set a timer for 30 minutes. Once the polenta begins to thicken, add butter, parm, and cream. Continue to cook until the mixture is thick and there is no more toothsome bite to the cornmeal. Stir continually so the polenta does not stick.

Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet, sauté the onions, olive oil, tomatoes, and garlic until fragrant and caramelized, about 7 minutes. Season. Add the sliced sausage and bell peppers. Cook roughly 5-8 minutes over medium-high heat to crisp the sausage and cook the pepper to the crisp-tender stage. Serve heaping spoonfuls over top of the creamy polenta.
