Polenta
1 lb. polenta (precooked, the kind that comes in a tube)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Topping
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced (preferably juicy summer heirlooms)
2 Tablespoons fresh basil, minced
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove polenta from the packaging and slice into rounds about 1/2" thick. Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Place polenta slices on the grates and grill for 8 minutes per side.
While polenta is grilling, make your tomato topping! Combine tomatoes, basil, olive oil, balsamic, sea salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix together and set aside to marinate.
Remove polenta slices from the grill and spoon bruschetta topping over top. If desired, garnish with another dose of fresh basil.
