    Recipe Introduction


    These savory and creamy wedges taste great alongside just about any
    chicken, pork or beef dish—but they are also terrific as a finger
    food.

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/4 cups lower sodium chicken broth
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1/3 cup Parmesan, grated
    9 pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
    1 tablespoon sun dried tomato paste
    3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for pie plate and baking sheet

    Recipe



    1. Brush a 10-inch pie plate with olive oil and set aside.
    2. Bring broth and cream to a boil in a heavy 3-quart saucepan oven
    medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add cornmeal, salt
    and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly
    with a wooden spoon until thick and creamy, about 15 minutes.
    3. Turn off heat. Add Parmesan, olives and tomato paste and stir
    until cheese has melted. Pour mixture into pie plate; spread evenly.
    Top with plastic wrap and cook at room temperature until set, about
    30 minutes. Cut into wedges and set aside.
    4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until hot. Add
    polenta wedges and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
    Serve immediately.
