Summer Squash and Artichoke Caponata
2 pounds assorted summer squash, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
3 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
2 tablespoons capers
1/4 cup whole olives, pitted and chopped
2 tablespoons dried currants
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
Creamy polenta
6 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups polenta (cornmeal)
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

1
In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute the chopped summer squash until tender. Remove from heat.
2
In a separate sautee pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium, stir in the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and sugar and stir to coat the onions. Allow to cook for another couple of minutes.
3
Next add the tomatoes and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, then stir in the vinegar, artichokes, capers, olives, currants, and the cooked summer squash. Cook until everything is heated through, another 5 or so minutes.
4
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve over the creamy polenta, topped with a little sprinkling of fresh basil.
5
In a large pot bring water and cream to a boil. Add the salt, then slowly pour in the polenta, stirring vigorously to prevent clumping.
6
Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the polenta is thickened, stirring pretty much constantly.
7
Remove from the heat and gently stir in the butter and Parmesan and thoroughly blended in. Divide between serving dishes and top with caponata.
