Directions Pan-Fried Polenta with Bruschetta Topping
Directions
-
Line a pie pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Bring water to a boil in a pot over high heat. Stir in cornmeal slowly. Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan, smooth out evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
Mix tomatoes, onion, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Chill bruschetta until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove polenta from the pie pan and slice into 8 triangles. Brown slices in hot oil until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with bruschetta topping on each slice.
