Best 4 Crispy Polenta Medallions With Turkey Sausage And Caramelized On Recipes

CRISPY POLENTA MEDALLIONS WITH TURKEY SAUSAGE AND CARAMELIZED ON

Steps:

• Drizzle about the Honey on each side of the Polenta. Season with some salt and pepper.
• Cook the Polenta on a grill pan at medium-high heat with a little olive oil or non-stick cooking spray. It needs about 4-5 minutes per side. Avoid moving around too much as to create pretty grill marks. Cook until crispy on outside and pull off of the pan. Add the sausages and cook until browned, about 2 minutes each side.
• In a separate saute pan, caramelize the onions at medium high heat with a little olive oil. Season. Add Peppers and Tomatoes. Season again and cook until softened. Add the oregano and marinara sauce. Cook until all ingredients are cooked through.
• Place Polenta medallions on 4 plates. Top with sausage slices. Add 1/4 of the onion, pepper, and tomato mixture to each plate. Arrange to look pretty. Top with a sprinkle of fresh chopped Parsley.
• Enjoy!

CRISPY POLENTA MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Cover a baking sheet with plastic or lightly oil a baking dish. Make polenta and when done, pour onto plastic or into lightly oiled baking dish. Spread to a thickness of about 1/3 inch using an offset spatula. If you are using a baking dish and can't spread the polenta that thin, you can always slice the rounds after they are cut to make thinner medallions. Cover with plastic and allow to stiffen completely, preferably in the refrigerator overnight.
• Cut the stiff polenta into 1 1/2 to 2-inch rounds with a cookie cutter. If the rounds are thick, cut crosswise into 1/3 inch thick rounds.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy nonstick or cast iron skillet. The polenta should sizzle as soon as you place the medallion in the oil. Cook the rounds in batches until nicely browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Turn them carefully with a spatula, and do not crowd the pan. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a platter while warm and place a pinch - about 1/4 teaspoon - of blue cheese on each round. It should soften and melt a little bit on the hot surface of the polenta. Or top with small dollops of the other toppings of your choice. Serve warm (they are also good when they cool down).

CRISPY POLENTA

Steps:

• Brush a small rimmed baking sheet with olive oil; set aside. In a large pot, bring 6 cups water to a boil over high heat; season with salt. Slowly whisk in polenta, and cook, partially covered, and stirring every 4 to 5 minutes, over medium-low heat until it begins to thicken, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Carefully pour polenta onto prepared baking sheet, spreading it out to an even thickness. Let cool, and tear into 1-inch pieces; lightly dust with flour.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Meanwhile, heat sunflower oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer. Using a slotted spoon, carefully add polenta in batches while maintaining the temperature of the oil. Cook until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to prepared baking sheet to drain. Serve immediately seasoned with sea salt.
