Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup uncooked instant polenta
2/3 cup grated Parmesan, divided
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or oregano) or 1 tablespoon dried
cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
8 scallions, trimmed
2 small Japanese or Italian eggplants, trimmed and halved
1 medium-large yellow squash (about pound), cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes
Sauce
1 jar (12 ounces) prepared roasted red peppers, drained
1/3 cup vegetable (or chicken) broth
1 large clove garlic, chopped
3 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, basil or parsley (plus extra for garnish)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium-sized heavy saucepan. Add polenta in a stream, whisking to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/3 cup Parmesan and season with cayenne and salt. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Transfer polenta to pie plate, smooth into an even layer and let cool 15 minutes. Heat broiler. Whisk garlic, thyme, lemon juice and oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss vegetables with dressing. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and arrange vegetables in 1 layer (or in 1 layer in a grill basket). Broil vegetables about 4 inches from heat until tender and slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter. Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Sprinkle polenta with remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan. Broil polenta in pie plate until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, then cut polenta into 8 triangles. Divide polenta among 4 plates. Top with vegetables, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with chives. Serve any remaining sauce on the side.

This was a great recipe! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The polenta was creamy and smooth, the vegetables were tender and flavorful, and the roasted red pepper sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this

I was disappointed with this dish. The polenta was grainy and the vegetables were undercooked. The roasted red pepper sauce was also bland. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were a lot of steps and ingredients involved, and it took me a long time to make. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The polenta was creamy, but it lacked flavor. The vegetables were also a bit overcooked. The roasted red pepper sauce was the best part of the dish, but it wasn't enough to save it.
