Grilled Polenta image

Grilled polenta makes a great side dish if you're grilling meat or fish; it's also a perfect solution for vegetarians at your barbecue. Squares of polenta are best if they're thick, so the basic polenta recipe is increased by half and the polenta is cooked for a longer time.

Time 1h

Yield Serves six to eight

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cups polenta
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Extra virgin olive oil for grilling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the polenta, 1 1/2 quarts water and salt in a 2-quart baking dish, and stir together. Place the baking dish on top of a sheet pan (so that if water sloshes when you put it in the oven, it will just go onto the sheet pan), and place in the oven. Bake one hour. Remove from the oven, stir in the butter and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, and stir again. Return to the oven for 10 to 20 minutes, until stiff. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then chill for one hour or more.
  • Prepare a medium grill or heat an electric griddle on medium. Cut the polenta into squares, and brush the squares on both sides with olive oil. Place on the grill or griddle. When grill marks appear or when nicely browned, usually in about two to three minutes, turn and brown the other side. Serve hot.

This recipe was a disaster! The polenta was mushy and the grilled vegetables were burnt. I will not be making this again.

The polenta was a little bland, but the grilled vegetables were delicious. I think I would add some more seasoning to the polenta next time.

I'm not a fan of polenta, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The polenta was actually really good. It was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe is a little time-consuming, but it's worth it. The polenta is so creamy and flavorful, and the grilled vegetables are a perfect complement.

I love the smoky flavor that the grilled vegetables add to this dish. It's a great way to change up the flavor of polenta.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover polenta. I usually just end up throwing it away, but this recipe is a great way to repurpose it.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The polenta is always crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The grilled vegetables are also a great addition.
