* sweet onions: especially red, white, Vidalia, or Walla Wallas
Bring water to boil, add salt, pepper, and cumin, then reduce heat and
slowly add polenta, stirring constantly until all is added and water is
absorbed. Remove from heat, stir in scallions, oregano, pine nuts, green
chiles, and 1 cup of the grated cheese.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Fill red peppers with polenta mixture and place in a nonstick or oiled
roasting pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, remove and top with remaining
cheese, then bake until cheese is melted. While peppers are baking, lightly
oil onion and zucchini slices and grill. To serve, cover plate bottom with
mole sauce, place on pepper in the center, and surround with grilled onions
and zucchini.
Serves 4.
Notes: Prepared mole is sold in markets or make your own.
