Ingredients:

  • 6 cups cherry tomatoes (about 2 lb)
  • cooking spray
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sliced shallots (about 3 medium)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups 1% low-fat milk
  • 2 cups water

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°.
  2. Cut several slits in the bottom of each tomato; place, stem sides down, in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375° (do not remove tomatoes from oven); bake 45 minutes or until browned. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots; sauté 5 minutes or until browned. Add sugar; sauté 5 minutes. Add wine; reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes. Cover; set aside.
  4. Combine the milk and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and gradually add the polenta, stirring constantly with a whisk. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt; cover and let stand 5 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Top the polenta with the tomato compote and Parmesan cheese.
