Polenta

Vegetables

Sauce Vierge

Method

Preparation of Sauce Vierge

  1. 1

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Cooking Polenta

  1. 2

    Cook the Polenta

    In a saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta and reduce heat to low. Stir frequently until thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in the asiago cheese, thyme, and butter until well combined.

Grilling Asparagus and Mushrooms

  1. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    Toss the asparagus and yellow oyster mushrooms in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking Cod

  1. 4

    Sear the Cod

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the cod fillets with salt and pepper. Sear the cod for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Plating

  1. 5

    Serve the Dish

    On a plate, spread a layer of asiago-infused polenta, place the seared cod on top, arrange the grilled vegetables alongside, and drizzle with sauce vierge.
