Grilled Vegetables With Creamy Polenta
1 garlic head cloves separated
Nonstick cooking spray as needed
2 medium zucchini
1/2 pound Roma tomatoes
1 green bell pepper seeded, cored,
and quartered
1 red or orange bell pepper seeded, cored,
and quartered
2 ears corn on the cob
3 tablespoons prepared pesto
4 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 cup polenta or yellow cornmeal
1/3 cup fat-free shredded Parmesan-style cheese
2 teaspoons butter
4 Servings
Prepare barbecue grill for direct cooking.
Place garlic on 10-inch piece of foil; lightly spray with cooking spray. Seal foil well; grill over medium-low coals, turning frequently, about 20 minutes or until tender. Peel garlic.
Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices; lightly spray with cooking spray. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise; remove seeds.
Grill peppers and tomatoes, skin-side down, over hot coals until blackened. Place peppers in paper bag; steam 5 minutes.
Grill zucchini and corn on covered grill over medium coals 1 to 3 minutes on each side or until tender and lightly browned.
Remove skin from tomatoes and peppers. Cut corn off cob. Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces; toss with garlic and pesto. Keep warm.
Bring water to a boil; add salt and black pepper. Slowly stir in polenta; cook and stir over medium heat about 5 minutes or until creamy and thickened. Stir in cheese and butter; add additional water as needed to keep creamy consistency.
Spoon vegetables over polenta; serve immediately.
