Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Remove polenta from the packaging and slice into rounds about 1/2" thick. Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat the grill to high heat.
  3. Place polenta slices on the grates and grill for 8 minutes per side.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove polenta slices from the grill and spoon bruschetta topping over top. If desired, garnish with another dose of fresh basil.
