Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups water
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes ( not packed in oil)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried minced onion
1 tsp dried minced garlic
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 egg
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tsp dried cilantro flakes
1 tbsp olive oil
9 tbsp reduced-fat sour cream

Directions:

In a large heavy saucepan, bring the water, tomatoes, salt, onion and garlic to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon for 15-20 minutes or until polenta is thickened and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan. Stir in cheese and oregano. Spread into a 9-in. square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Cut polenta into nine squares. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk. In another shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and cilantro. Dip polenta in the egg mixture, then bread crumb mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook polenta in oil in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with sour cream. Yield: 9 servings.
