Fiesta Pork and Cheesy Polenta
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 14 lbs boneless pork loin, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- salt
- pepper
- 2 cups frozen bell peppers, strips thawed and patted dry (or chop them yourself, that is what I plan to do.)
- 1 bunch scallion, green portions thinly sliced, white portions finely chopped
- 34 cup instant polenta
- 12 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 12 cups frozen corn, thawed
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 c water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over high heat, swirling to coat the pan.
- Add the pork to the skillet in an even layer and season with the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Cook, stirring, until just brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the pork and any juices to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the bell pepper and finely chopped scallions to the skillet and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Whisk the polenta and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper into the boiling water and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes.
- Lower the heat to low, whisk in the cream, then stir the cheese; cover to keep warm.
- Add the corn to the bell pepper mixture and cook for 1 minute.
- Return the pork and any juices to the skillet and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the sliced scallions.
- Serve with the polenta.
