Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Basic firm polenta (see recipe), cut into 8 squares
Olive oil
1 onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
3 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
3 cups canned diced tomatoes, with juice
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon roughly chopped capers
1/4 cup roughly chopped pitted black olives
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and chopped
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Large eggs, for frying

Steps:

  • Paint tops of polenta squares lightly with olive oil. Heat a stovetop grill or cast-iron griddle. Lay polenta top-side down and cook until nicely browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip and brown the other side. Keep warm.
  • For the sauce, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy saucepan. Add onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute more. Add tomatoes and bay leaf and simmer briskly for 5 to 8 minutes, until thickened slightly. Add capers, olives and anchovies and cook for 2 minutes more. Season with red pepper flakes and a little more salt if necessary.
  • On each plate, put 1 square of warm polenta and spoon sauce around it. For each diner, fry 1 or 2 eggs sunny-side up in olive oil, and place on top of sauce. Serve immediately.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook polenta, and this recipe definitely delivered. The grilled polenta was a nice change from the traditional boiled polenta.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the fried eggs. The dish was still delicious!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler dishes in the future.

The tomato sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but the polenta and fried eggs were delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much water.

This was a delicious and easy-to-make dish. I used a store-bought tomato sauce and it still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt in the tomato sauce.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of polenta, but I'm so glad I did! The polenta was grilled perfectly and the tomato sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The polenta was creamy and grilled to perfection, the tomato sauce had just the right amount of spice, and the fried eggs added a richness that took the dish to the next level. I will definitely be making this agai
