Creamy Polenta with Roasted Corn and Fresh Sage

Ingredients

• 1 can corn
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh sage leaves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 3 cups water
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup cornmeal
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• (You could add sausage to make this more of a meal instead of a side)

Directions

1. Saute Corn on the stove with butter and sage
2. In a heavy 4-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in garlic and onions; reduce heat to low and cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in water and milk and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Slowly stir in cornmeal, whisking thoroughly. 
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking and burning. Season with salt and pepper; simmer 15 minutes more.
5. When mixture is thick and the cornmeal is tender, stir in corn, sage and Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a large bowl to serve.
