Preparation

Step 1

POLENTA:

Combine stock, cream grated nutmeg, salt and pepper in a heave gauge pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then add the polenta and semolia GRADUALLY while stirring constantly.

Polenta is ready when it begins to pull away from the sides of the pot (approximately 10-15 minutes).

Remove from heat and stir in the Fontina cheese and 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese until well incorporated.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS:

While the polenta is cooking prepare the sausage and peppers.

In a large saute pan heat a little of the olive oil and add the sliced sausage pieces. Weh the sausage just starts to brown add the peppers and saute until the peppers start to blister and some blackiening of the skin begins. Take off the heat.

Spoon some of the polenta into shallow soup bowls. Divide the sausage and the peppers over the polenta and serve immediately. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese.
