Grilled Polenta

Ingredients

  • One batch of Creamy Polenta

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare one batch of creamy polenta.

Pour warm polenta into a glass loaf pan. Smooth the top, cover and refrigerate until set, a few hours or up to overnight.

Turn the polenta onto a cutting board. It should be completely molded into the shape of your loaf pan. Cut into ½-inch slices and brush each one with olive oil on both sides.

Heat a grill pan until it is quite hot. If using a gas grill, which is likely to get much hotter than a grill pan, a medium-high setting should be enough.

Place each slice diagonally across the grill and let it cook for about 10 minutes or until dark-brown grill marks appear. Don't move the polenta around, though, or you'll disturb the browning process. Also, don't overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.

Flip and grill the other side until grill marks appear, about another 10 minutes. Serve hot.
