Baked Polenta With Bacon & Onions Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
3 slices lean bacon, chopped
2 onions, sliced thin
1 cup water
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp dried crumbled sage
1/2 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan
Recipe Preparation
In a large saucepan, cook bacon until almost crisp. Remove the bacon
and take out all but 1 tbsp of the fat. Add the onions and cook until
softened but not browned. Transfer the onion to a bowl. To the pan
add the water, broth and sage and bring to a boil. Stirring
constantly, add the cornmeal, a little at a time. Cook over low heat,
stirring almost constantly, until it is thick and pulls away from the
sides of the pan, 20-25 minutes. Stir in the butter, 2 tbsp of the
Parmesan and half the onions. Spread in a 3 cup gratin dish. Mix the
bacon into the remaining onion mixture and spread on top of the
polenta. Sprinkle on the remaining Parmesan and bake in the middle
of a preheated 400 oven until the cheese is melted and just starting
to brown. This serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side dish. Can be
doubled or tripled and can be made and assembled earlier in the day
and baked when ready to serve.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some lower carb diet pointers:
* Use splenda instead of sugar. Most recipes that require sugar can be adapted to make use of a good substitute like splenda. It is not exactly the same so you will need to experiment a little and it might not work in every case, but it does bake up nice once you have it cracked.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, mangos and sweet potatoes)
These colorful superfoods are rich in the carotenoids believed by many play a key role in helping stop cancer, particularly of the stomach. A good number also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your diet system.
