Grilled Polenta with roasted vegetables

Grilled polenta and roasted vegetables

I have only cooked polenta a handful of times so I thought I'd give it another whirl. It is relatively simple to make as you just add four times the amount of boiling water to polenta and cook over a high heat until firm, about five minutes. You will need to add a good amount of flavouring like olive oil, butter, salt and pepper and Parmesan as polenta is quite bland. Once the polenta is very thick spoon out onto an oiled tray and leave to set. Once it has set, cut into long pieces and fry in a dry grill pan until it has dark grill lines on it. Then serve with whatever you like, but roasted vegetables is what you see it with most often. A healthy meal, made in minutes.

I've only ever had it with roast veg but will have to experiment with it, maybe have it with some braised oxtail. hmmm

I love polenta, but I have been disappointed making it. I must try again!

I've made polenta the conventional way but I've never thought of going on a step and grilling it - this looks fab and I'll be trying it soon.
