1 1\/3 C. crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese (about 6 oz.)<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 C. chopped fresh cilantro<\/span><\/p>\n

3 1\/4 C. water<\/span><\/p>\n

1 pound cherry tomatoes (about 3 1\/2 C.) <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 425\u00c2\u00b0F. Toss cheese and cilantro in small bowl. Mix 3 1\/4 C. water, polenta, and corn kernels in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and stir to blend well. Bake until water is absorbed and polenta is tender, stirring once, about 25 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Meanwhile, saut\u00c3\u00a9 chorizo in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, breaking into small pieces with side of wooden spoon, about 6 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes to skillet. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until tomatoes soften, about 6 minutes. Uncover; crush some tomatoes with fork. Simmer until tomatoes release juices and sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Spoon polenta onto plates. Top with chorizo mixture, then cheese mixture.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>If you’re not a fan of chorizo, a sweet Italian sausage works well in this recipe with feta cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
