ingredients
- 1 cup polenta or 1 cup cornmeal
- 3 1⁄2 cups water
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups grated goat cheese
- 1 1⁄2 cups plain yogurt
- 1⁄3 cup water
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 minced carrot
- 15 ounces garbanzo beans
- 28 ounces Ragú® Pasta Sauce
- 1⁄4 cup butter
directions
- Put the cornmeal, water and salt in a large glass bowl. Stir to combine.
- Microwave on high for six minutes.
- Stir in the goat cheese, cover, and microwave for 5-6 more minutes (depending on your microwave).
- Pour the mixture into a buttered loaf pan, and let cool.
- Once the polenta has cooled, put it into the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to firm up.
- Put the yogurt in a serving bowl. Add water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until everything is well combined and smooth. Check for salt. Stir in the chopped cilantro (or you may use parsley or mint instead).
- Chill the yogurt sauce until serving time.
- In a frying pan or large saucepan put the olive oil, green bell pepper and carrot and saute over medium heat until the vegetables are 3/4 cooked.
- Add the garbanzo beans and stir for another 3 minutes. Stir in the ground coriander. Add the Ragu sauce and mix well.
- If making the Ragu sauce ahead of time, refrigerate it until time to assemble.
- When time to assemble, slice the polenta. For each serving: in a nonstick frying pan put 2 teaspoons butter and two slices of polento. Fry in the butter until heated through and both sides are lightly browned. Place on a plate, top with warmed Ragu sauce and garnish with a dollop of the yogurt sauce. Repeat with the remaining polenta.
- Serve immediately.

I like to eat a variety of food so have lots of different kinds of recipes that I have added and reviewed. Probably the favorite foods that I have reviewed are the ones with Nutella in the ingredients.
