Tips
You can use any cheese you like; you can pour polenta into a buttered mold, allow to chill; unmold, slice and fry in oil or butter.
Directions
Mix 1 cup cornmeal with 1 cup water; add cayenne and black pepper, set aside. In a large saucepan, saute onions and peppers in oil and butter until translucent, add garlic and sage, saute 1 minute; add the other 2 cups water and bring to boil; carefully stir in cornmeal mixture (caution - polenta will bubble hot steam), stir well, cover with loose fitting lid (you can balance a wooden spoon across the pot to hold lid up a little). Reduce heat, stir often and cook for 8 minutes; add peas (frozen); cook 2 minutes more. Take off heat, add basil & chives and gorgonzola, stir well and serve.
