Ingredients

4 servings
  • 3 to 4 cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup whole grain polenta ((not instant))
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • One 27 ounce Smithfield Mesquite Pork Loin Filet, (trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 large zucchini, (washed, trimmed and diced)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, (seeded and cut into ¼ inch strips)
  • 1 small yellow bell pepper, (seeded and cut into ¼ inch strips)
  • ½ small red onion, (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper, (seeded and thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium garlic clove, (minced)
  • 1½ tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, (dissolved in chicken broth (below))
  • ½ cup chicken broth

Steps

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of milk to a boil. Whisk in the polenta and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often until thickened. Add another 1 cup of the milk and stir. Continue to stir and simmer for 5 to 6 more minutes. Stir in another 1 cup of milk and continue to simmer, still stirring often, until the polenta is thick and creamy, 5 to 6 more minutes.

  2. Stir in the butter, salt, pepper and cilantro. Set aside while you make the stir fry.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet until hot. Add the pork to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring often.

  4. Add all of the vegetables to the skillet. Sprinkle with lime juice, chili powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften and the pork cooks through.

  5. Add the broth to the skillet and cook just until the liquid comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Serve over polenta.
