INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat a large pot over medium heat. Add oil; once heated add onions. Once soft, add peppers. Saute about 10 minutes until peppers are soft and onions are clear.

- Add polenta and whisk to combine well. Turn heat to medium high, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and let cook 20 minutes to heat through; stirring often to ensure polenta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
