Polenta And Vegetable Tower With A Creamy Coulis

• 3 cups tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon sriracha hot chili sauce
• 1/2 bottle beer
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• salt
• pepper
• 1 package polenta in a tube, sliced
• 1 inch tomatoes sliced half
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup mushrooms sliced
• 1 cup onions sliced
• 1 cup celery chopped
• 1 cup peppers sliced
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 3 sprigs parsley

1. In a sauce pan, combine the tomato sauce and paste with the chili sauce. Mix well over medium heat. Add the beer and thyme. Allow to simmer for ten minutes to cook the alcohol out and leave the flavor in. Add the cream cheese and mix in until blended well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Form a layer on the bottom of the plate with this sauce.
2. Grill the polenta for about ten minutes each side. For the last ten minutes, grill the tomatoes. In a sauce pan, over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Saute all of the vegetables until the onions become clear (about ten to fifteen minutes). Place four slices of cheese on four slices of polenta and let the cheese melt.
3. Place one slice of polenta on the sauce. Layer on the vegetables. Place another layer of polenta (with the cheese on top). Top that with a tomato half. Add another layer of vegetables. You will want to place the skewer into these to keep them from falling down. Add another polenta and you are finished. You can add a sprig of parsley on top to make it pretty.
