Tubes of ready-made polenta are available in the deli section of most supermarkets. Just cut, cook and top with this delicious relish for a seduction of salty and crispy in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped red onions
- 1/2 cup chopped sweet green peppers
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 cup chopped black olives
- 1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tube (17 oz/500 g) Polenta, about 2-1/2 inches (6 cm) wide
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/3 cup shredded Asiago
Preparation
In skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium heat; fry onion, green pepper, garlic and oregano until softened, about 3 minutes. Add olives, sun-dried tomatoes and vinegar; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is evaporated, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
Cut polenta into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices. Cut each in half; place on greased or parchment paper–lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush with remaining oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until edges are golden, about 5 minutes.
Spoon heaping 1 tsp (5 mL) relish onto each polenta piece. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.
