INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Preheat
over to 400F. Grease a 10-inch skillet or 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking
spray. If using dry-pack tomatoes, place them in a small bowl and cover with
boiling water. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften, then drain and chop. If
using oil-pack tomatoes, drain tomatoes, reserving oil, and chop. In a small
skillet, saute the shallot in the butter or reserved tomato oil until softened.
Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Combine
flour, polenta or coarse cornmeal, salt, baking powder, baking soda, basil, and
cumin in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, corn with its
liquid, sautéed shallots and butter or oil, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and
cheese with a wooden spoon. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until all
the ingredients are moistened and thoroughly blended. Take care not to over
mix; the batter will be thin. If you are using skillet to bake the cornbread,
place the greased skillet in the oven for 5 minutes to preheat.
3.
Pour
batter into prepared baking dish or into the hot 10-inch skillet. Bake in the
center of the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the cornbread is golden
around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting into thick wedges to serve.
