White Cheddar & Poblano Polenta

White Cheddar & Poblano Polenta

This White Cheddar & Poblano Polenta is a versatile and easy meal that can be topped with anything you’d put into tacos or on nachos! I love topping it with crunchy tortilla chips, pickled red onions, and a fried egg for a filling meal.

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 poblano pepper cut into large pieces
  • 1/2 small red onion quartered
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup polenta
  • 3 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a high speed blender, blend together the poblano pepper, red onion, garlic clove, vegetable broth, and garlic clove and blend until completely combined.

  2. Bring salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the polenta, lower heat to low, and let simmer, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the polenta is creamy and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. Pour in the poblano mixture and cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the polenta has thickened, stirring often.

  4. Remove from heat, stir in the cheese, and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, as needed. Feel free to serve with fried eggs, black beans, cilantro, sour cream, tortilla chips, or anything else you might top on tacos and/or nachos!
