INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring the water, salt, butter and white pepper to a simmer. Slowly add
the cornmeal and continue to simmer stirring until it is very thick and
coats the bottom of the pan, about 5 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Beat in the remaining ingredients
and pour into a greased 9xI2-inch baking dish. Bake until set and browned,
30 to 45 minutes. Garnish each serving with chopped cilantro. Hint: Any
leftovers can he cooled and used as a stuffing for chicken or pork. Source:

NOTES : "Spoonbread is a southern dish that may have been borrowed from
Italy because it starts out like polenta. We have turned it
southwestern by
the addition of sweet corn kernels, red bell peppers, and a touch
of chile."
