INSTRUCTIONS
Recipes by Jacqueline Higuera McMahan Serve as an accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats, or with a salad for a light meal. INSTRUCTIONS: Grease a 8 x 13-inch baking pan. Heat the butter in a wide, deep skillet. Add the onions and minced chiles and saute until softened. Do not let them brown. Add the chicken broth, wine and milk. Simmer for a few minutes. Slowly stir in the polenta and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes. Add the corn and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, or until a spoon, drawn through the polenta to the bottom of the pan, leaves a track. Stir in the salt and chives. Pour the polenta into the prepared pan. Let cool, then cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Just before serving, cut into 8 squares and carefully remove with a wide spatula (because of the corn, this polenta is fragile). Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add a few polenta squares (do not crowd the pan) and fry until golden brown, turning once. Continue frying the remaining squares, adding more olive oil as needed. Serves 8.
