Peppers, onions, mushrooms, shallots, and garlic combine with the humble carrot to add zing to a comforting dish of polenta (be sure to use instant!) and cheese of your choice. This recipe comes to us from the Whitestone Country Inn on the shores of Watts Bar Lake in Kingston, Tennessee. Try this for a weekend lunch or meatless supper.
