Baked Polenta-Chili and Cilantro Style!

So, tonight's recipe was an interesting challenge for me! I love trying new recipes and new foods, and a couple weeks ago I found a recipe for Baked Polenta from a Weekday Vegetarian post on facebook that looked tasty and different! A bit later while grocery shopping, I saw the little cookie dough look-a-like wrapper of polenta in the produce section and decided now would be the perfect time to try it! They had all sorts of different flavors to choose from, and the green chili and cilantro one sounded delish!
For those of you who don't know what polenta is, it's kind of a corn meal and water mixture that is gluten free! I always love finding new gluten free things to try:)
As usually happens in my house, the polenta sat unused for over a week before I decided to try the recipe. Surprise! The link NO LONGER WORKS, so I had to google a different recipe to get an idea of how I was supposed to use this stuff. The recipes all called for dry polenta and water, and as it turned out, the cute little cookie dough polenta is precooked. So I figured I would just squeeze it out into the pan and smoosh it around, but NO! It's hard like cookie dough, too! So I had to add water to it in a pan and heat it up to make it all squishy and able to use.
Needless to say, I figured it out and it worked just fine, but I was worried there for a bit. SO! My recipe that I made up on the spot is using a tube of polenta, but it may be easier to try it the other way, but then again, it might not;) I'll have to try that one out another time!
