in-a-hurry tamale pie

As I type this, I just finished sobbing through The Help.

The verdict?

SO good. Rarely do I think movies are just as good as books, but this really was amazing. And Dell’s guest appearance? Love.

RIP Dell.

Anyway! Now that I got that out of my system, let’s talk dinner tonight. Whatcha havin’?

I really hope I can convince you in the next 100 words or so to make this super quick, delicious tamale pie! You won’t regret it. I made it a few days ago for girl’s night and everyone was shocked at how good it was. I don’t know if I was more taken by the fact that my friends were “shocked” the dinner I made turned out delicious, or that I already had all the ingredients in my kitchen to make this.

You see, unlike a “normal” tamale pie that usually consists of a spicy meat, corn and bean filling with a cornmeal-like crust, this easy vegetarian version features a bottom layer of polenta as a nice little twist.

Using polenta for the “crust” = less dishes to wash…and that’s okay by me! (even though my shallac manicure is still holding up quite nicely after one week, thank you very much!)

The best part is that it’s topped with lots and lots of cheese. Duh

Us girls cobbled it up alongside these cookies and champagne, of course. If that doesn’t include all the food groups, I don’t know what does.

In-a-Hurry Tamale Pie

serves 4

adapted from The Moosewood Cookbook (<—one of my favorites!)

Print this recipe!

Ingredients:

1 polenta roll (sometimes found in the produce section of the supermarket)

1 15-oz can pinto beans

1 cup mexican cheese blend

1 ear corn (or 1/2 cup frozen corn), kernels shucked off the cob

1/2 cup salsa

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

cilantro, sour cream and additional salsa for serving

Directions:

Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or 9-inch square pan) with a little olive oil. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl combine the corn kernels, salsa, pinto beans (and their juice—just dump the can in) and spices. Stir well to combine.

Slice the polenta into 1/4th inch slices. Cover bottom of skillet with overlapping slices. Pour bean mixture on top. Top with cheese.

Cover and bake for 15 minutes then remove and bake for an additional 15 minutes uncovered. Serve with minced cilantro, sour cream and salsa.

Time:

40 minutes

    The Moosewood Cookbook being one of your faves….everyone who knows how to cook always raves about that book. I should pick it up b/c it comes with high praise, clearly 🙂

    And sorry you had a cryfest over The Help. I havent read or seen it so have no idea.

    All I know it that fast, easy meals like yours make me happy 🙂

  • Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
    August 22, 2011 at 4:57 am

    I am still a polenta virgin because I figure I could never really get through an entire tube by myself unless I cooked it in a big-batch dish. This might just work!
    And although it made you cry, I’m glad you enjoyed The Help! I read the book but haven’t seen the movie yet. I get really restless with long movies so I think I’ll wait till it comes out on DVD!

    • RhodeyGirl
      August 22, 2011 at 7:24 am

      FYI Angela… you can cook polenta from scratch and make just as much as you need for yourself. It only takes a few minutes (and I think it tastes better too).

    • Sarah
      August 22, 2011 at 10:47 pm

      You can use polenta in a tube in so many ways! It’s really good in frittatas or omlets! I will do an italian version with a meat sauce over top of about 4-5 slices, or mexican version with black beans and cilantro. It refrigerates well! I say give it a go with this recipe or not!

  • Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine

    I just learned to cook with polenta in culinary school last week and I’m now kind of obsessed with it, so the timing on this recipe is awesome. I’ve heard such great things about the Moosewood Cookbook (it’s like the Bible of vegetarian cooking, after all!)- need to get myself a copy!

  • Kristin @ Iowa Girl Eats

    Ummm, might have to run to the store to get the ingredients to make this TONIGHT! Looks crazy good. 🙂 I cannot believe that I still have not read/seen The Help. Clearly I am so behind the times. I’m looking for a new book right now (just finished Sarah’s Key – gut wrenching) so this might be it!

    I’ve heard mixed reviews of the movie. I think I’ll wait for DVD – it’s 2 1/2 hours! 😉

    How do you get inspiration or an idea of what you want to make for dinners or when you have girls’ nights? I get overwhelmed with looking at cookbooks, sites. Do you usually go what why types of tastes your seeking or look for something different like?

    Or if anyone else can answer personally, it’s appreciated as I’m curious!

    I’m kind of smitten with Moosewood, too. I just found their Low Fat Favorites cookbook for $1.98 at a thrift store!! 🙂 And I love that this recipe uses polenta. I always want to try using it for dinner but am never quite sure how to do it.

    Man this looks so freakin’ good- LOVE polenta. Unfortunately it’s near impossible to find in Mumbai but I’m thinking potatoes might be a good substitute?

  • Tasha @ Voracious Eats
    August 22, 2011 at 5:21 am

    This looks SO incredible. It is so clever to use the polenta as a crust. I can only imagine the flavor/texture it adds to the dish as being out of this world. And can I get three cheers for fresh corn? I love that you included it here. YUM!

    I’ve read so many problematic articles about the racism in the book/movie The Help that it has more than put me off. Not sure I want to see it or read it now.

    I was deciding between seeing the Help or Sarah’s Key yesterday. I have never read the Help but I LOVED Sarah’s Key (I think you did also if I recall), but I ended up not being abel to see either. I think I’ll have to read the book before I see the Help though.
    This pie is also free of gluten! I love love polenta but have never been sure how to cook with those rolls myself, thank you for the idea!!

    That looks delicious except…you lost me at bean juice. The thought of using the stuff in the can grosses me out (I can’t stand the smell). Do you think I should add water or broth if I drain and rinse the beans? I’m worried it would be too dry.

    As usual- thank you for the cooking inspiration.

Rather than buying the pre-packaged polenta, we made yellow grits and poured them into a casserole dish. We also added ground turkey seasoned with taco seasoning to the casserole. Only because my hubby thinks if there’s not meat in the meal it’s not a real meal. 🙂 Thanks!!

I ate a lot of polenta when I lived in Italy, but haven’t since I’ve been back in the states. We added an onion, but I also think adding some zucchini and summer squash would be good. I will definitely be making this again, it’s so simple!
