Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
2 ½ cups water
1 cup cornmeal
⅓ cup diced oil-packed sundried tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried garlic
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
½ red onion, minced
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Line a pie pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Bring water to a boil in a pot over high heat. Stir in cornmeal slowly. Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until thick, about 10 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan; smooth out evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Mix tomatoes, onion, basil, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Chill bruschetta until ready to use.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Remove polenta from the pie pan and slice into 8 triangles. Brown slices in hot oil until golden, about 6 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with bruschetta topping on each slice.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover polenta. I simply spread the polenta in a baking dish, topped it with the bruschetta topping, and baked it in the oven until it was heated through.
