Yield Makes about 40 canapés
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Line an 11- by 7-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a slight overhang on all sides.
- In a heavy saucepan bring water with salt to a boil and add polenta in a thin stream, whisking. Cook polenta over low heat (it should be barely boiling), stirring constantly, until very thick, about 10 minutes. Spread polenta evenly in pan.
- Separately mince shallots and garlic and chop arugula. In a non-stick skillet cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, arugula, and salt to taste and cook, stirring, a few seconds, or until arugula is just wilted. Spread arugula mixture evenly over polenta and cool to room temperature. Chill polenta, covered, until firm, at least 2 hours, and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Sprinkle arugula topping evenly with Parmesan, pressing gently to make it adhere, and, using foil, transfer polenta to a cutting board. Cut polenta lengthwise into thirds and cut strips crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide canapés. Arrange canapés on a large baking sheet and bake in upper third of oven 10 minutes, or until just heated through. Change oven setting to broil and broil canapés 2 minutes, or until tops just begin to brown.
- Serve canapés warm or at room temperature.

- Hints & Clues
- · Carpaccio is thinly sliced beef tenderloin, but you can also have a carpaccio of any type of meat that is safe to eat raw or cured (such as bison, boar, or duck) or high-quality fish.
- · Ask your butcher to prepare the carpaccio for you if you are interested.
- · Arugula has a peppery flavor that goes well with the salty Parmesan and tangy taste of lemon, mustard, and mayonnaise.
- · Use a flat vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan cheese. Use the peeler like you're a peeling a carrot, or cucumber to make thin shaved strips.
- · It is common to coat carpaccio with lemon juice and olive oil before serving it. They not only help to bring out the taste, but help with freshness and color.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese finely so that it melts evenly.
- Cook the polenta according to the package directions, but make sure it is thick and creamy.
- Spread the polenta evenly on the baking sheet so that it cooks evenly.
- Bake the polenta until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Top the polenta with the arugula, Parmesan cheese, and balsamic glaze just before serving.
