2teaspoonsgrated garlic

3cupslow-sodium no-chickenorchicken broth

1cupshredded fontina cheese
¼teaspoonground pepper

Directions
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Place peppers on the prepared baking sheet and broil, turning often, until black all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam for 10 minutes.
Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and gradually add polenta (or cornmeal or grits), whisking vigorously. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Remove and discard the skins, stem and seeds from the roasted peppers. Transfer the flesh to a blender and add vinegar, paprika, tomato paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Serve the eggplants with the polenta and sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
