Chorizo Corn Bread

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, use a large spoon to combine softened butter, polenta, flour, baking powder, eggs and salt, until just mixed. Fold in cheese. Finally, mix in buttermilk, honey, creamed corn and chorizo.

3. 3

   Prepare Bundt pan by spraying oil into it to keep the corn bread from sticking to it.

4. 4

   Fold the cornbread batter into Bundt pan. Bake 45 - 50 minutes until firm to the touch and golden. Remove from oven and let stand for 20 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and top with a touch of chopped cilantro and serve with sliced tomatoes which are generously peppered. (I found wonderful red and yellow tomatoes which looked really pretty on the plate with the corn bread.) Finally, sprinkle with a touch of crumbled *Cotija cheese. (If you can=t find the Cotija, then you will want to salt the tomatoes too.)
