Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\nTo make the polenta tostadas, remove the polenta block from the package and use a sharp knife to cut the polenta in to slices. \u00a0Place on a greased baking sheet, and drizzle on some olive oil. \u00a0Sprinkle with 1\/4 teaspoon cumin, salt and pepper. Set the baking sheet in the oven, and turn the broiler on high. \u00a0Broil the polenta until the edges start to turn golden brown. \u00a0(Alternatively, you can grill the polenta.)<\/p>\n
While the polenta is in the oven, in a small saucepan combine the cooked black beans, 1\/2 teaspoon cumin and salt and pepper. \u00a0Add a few tablespoons of water, and cook the beans over low heat for about 10 minutes, just until heated.<\/p>\n
To make the corn-pepper salad, combine the diced red pepper and fresh corn in a large bowl. \u00a0Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil, the lime juice, 1\/4 teaspoon cumin and salt and pepper. \u00a0Set in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the tostadas. (You can also make the salad ahead of time and keep in the fridge for 1-2 days.)<\/p>\n
Once ready to assemble the tostadas, remove the polenta from the oven. \u00a0Place 2-3 polenta slices on a plate. \u00a0Top with a few spoonfuls of the beans and the corn salad. \u00a0Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese and\/or jalapeno slices, and serve immediately.<\/p>\n

<\/img><\/div><\/div>Summer is in full swing, and with that comes tons of great summertime recipes. \u00a0Homemade BBQ sauces<\/a>, refreshing lemonades<\/a>, and seasonal fruit crisps<\/a>. \u00a0One of my favorite ingredients to work with in the summer is fresh corn. \u00a0I love picking up some fresh local corn from the farmers market and seeing what I can make with it. \u00a0Even though I can\u2019t eat it, fresh corn is one of those quintessential summertime ingredients.<\/p>\n
