Polenta and Grilled Vegetables With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce image

This dish is perfect in the spring or summer when vegetables are plenty. It reminds me of a rustic dish you could get at a little Italian eatery. Don't be daunted by the long list of ingredients, the meal comes together quickly. I have a gluten allergy and the polenta satisfies any bread cravings I might have. The dish is also a great vegetarian option, but I swear it will make any carnivore happy :) The vegetables can also be done in the broiler.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup uncooked instant polenta
2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
vegetable oil cooking spray
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme (or oregano)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 asparagus spears, ends trimmed
8 scallions, trimmed
2 small eggplants, trimmed and halved
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1 cup cherry tomatoes
12 ounces prepared roasted red peppers, drained
1/3 cup vegetable broth
1 large garlic clove, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus extra
fresh basil, to garnish
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a medium-sized heavy saucepan. Add polenta, whisking quickly to combine. Reduce heat to a medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thick- about 3-5 minutes. Whisk in 1/3 cup Parmesan and season with the cayenne pepper and salt. Coat a 9" pie plate with cooking spray and pour the polenta into the prepared pie plate and smooth out the surface and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat grill (or broiler). Whisk together garlic, thyme, lemon juice, and oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss vegetables with the dressing. Coat a grill basket (or cooking tray) with cooking spray and arrange vegetables. Grill vegetables until tender and slightly charred- about 3-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter.
  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Heat broiler, sprinkle polenta with remaining Parmesan cheese. Broil polenta until golden brown- about 2-3 minutes, then slice into 8 pieces. Divide polenta among 4 plates. Top with vegetable, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with fresh basil.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The polenta was creamy and the grilled vegetables were flavorful. The roasted red pepper sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's just a personal preference.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The polenta was creamy, but lacked flavor. The grilled vegetables were also a bit undercooked. The roasted red pepper sauce was the only part of the dish that I really enjoyed.
