INSTRUCTIONS
Place unpeeled garlic in heavy skillet. On very low heat, shaking pan often, cook for about 40 minutes, or until soft and tender. You can also place garlic on baking sheet and roast in preheated 325F/160C oven for about 30 minutes. Cool, peel and mince. Place water in Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Add salt and pepper. Whisk in cornmeal slowly, stirring constantly. When mixture bubbles, reduce heat and cook on low heat for 5 minutes for instant cornmeal and 20 to 30 minutes for regular cornmeal. Stir occasionally. If mixture gets too thick, add some boiling water. Add garlic, corn and chiles and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro and enough milk to reach the consistency of very creamy mashed potatoes. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Converted by MC_Buster. NOTES : This dish, from Simply HeartSmart Cooking, can be made an hour before serving. Keep it warm over a double boiler. If you don't have time to roast the garlic, just add 1 minced clove garlic. Makes 8 to 10 servings Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
