Directions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Cut several slits in the bottom of each tomato; place, stem sides down, in a shallow roasting pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 425° for 20 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 375° (do not remove tomatoes from oven); bake 45 minutes or until browned.
Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add shallots; sauté 5 minutes or until browned.
Add sugar; sauté 5 minutes.
Add wine; reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add ½ teaspoon salt and pepper.
Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes.
Cover; set aside.
Combine the milk and water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, and gradually add the polenta, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat 2 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon salt; cover and let stand 5 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally.
Top the polenta with the tomato compote and Parmesan cheese.
