Instructions: * Sweet onions: especially red, white, Vidalia, or Walla Wallas

Bring water to boil, add salt, pepper, and cumin, then reduce heat and slowly add polenta, stirring constantly until all is added and water is absorbed.

Remove from heat, stir in scallions, oregano, pine nuts, green chiles, and 1 cup of the grated cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Fill red peppers with polenta mixture and place in a nonstick or oiled roasting pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, remove and top with remaining cheese, then bake until cheese is melted. While peppers are baking, lightly oil onion and zucchini slices and grill. To serve, cover plate bottom with mole sauce, place on pepper in the center, and surround with grilled onions and zucchini.

Serves 4.

Notes: Prepared mole is sold in markets or make your own.
