Ingredients
- 1 cup polenta (cornmeal)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Roast the Peppers: Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and let cool. Once cooled, peel off the skin and chop the peppers.
- Cook the Polenta: In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the roasted peppers, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the polenta. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy polenta onto plates or into bowls. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve hot.
