Polenta and Toppings

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Polenta

    In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add salt and slowly whisk in the polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 20-25 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add Olive Oil

    Once the polenta is cooked, stir in the olive oil until fully combined. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced local tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Drizzle with balsamico vecchio and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the polenta onto serving plates. Top with the tomato and mozzarella mixture. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.
