Ingredients
- 3 cups (720 ml) half & half
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (120 ml) water
- ½ cup (50 g) Asiago cheese, shredded
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups (240 g) cornmeal
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place half & half, eggs, water, cheese, garlic, and seasonings into the Vitamix 40 oz. container in the order listed and secure lid.
- Turn the dial to 1 and blend for 2 minutes. Remove lid plug.
- Slowly add the cornmeal to the container through the lid plug opening. Blend an additional 60 seconds, until all cornmeal is incorporated.

It is difficult cooking for two at times, but this is fast to prepare and so good! Goes with so many dishes! Favorite was with the very quick chorizo and clam stew.
Brown 3/4 lb chorizo into crispy bits, remove from pan, add 1/2 cup diced white onion till translucent, add one diced tomato cook till semi soft, add 1 lb pkg frozen clams in shell, cover and steam 5 minutes.
