You prepare the polenta as normal but adding in fresh corn (recipe suggests 1 cup polenta to 1 large ear of corn). It is paired with cherry tomatoes sauteed with oil, garlic and red pepper flakes, and topped with fresh herbs. I recently found this recipe, and plan to make it this week with some Italian sausage. Figured it was a good use of the corn from my CSA, and the grape tomatoes and basil from my garden. I have a fresh corn polenta that uses fresh corn and corn meal together.

I'm not familiar with that. Polenta always means "corn meal" to me. Does fresh corn polenta use fresh corn and corn meal together? Do you have any suggestions on a recipe to use? Interesting.
