INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 pound whole button mushrooms

  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch wide strips
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix cornmeal and cold water in 2-quart nonstick saucepan. Stir in boiling water, 1 tablespoon of the basil and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
