Grilled Polenta

Ingredients

• Corn grits, plain

  Cereals, quaker, instant, dry

  2 cup or 58g

• Salt

  Table

  ½ tsp or 3g

• Water

  Plain, clean water

  6 cup or 1.42kg

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  2 tbsp or 27g

Directions

1. In a medium pot, combine the corn grits, salt, and water. Stir to remove any lumps and then slowly bring to a strong simmer. Continue to stir over medium-low heat until all the water is absorbed and the corn grits are soft, about 30 minutes.
2. Oil a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Pour the polenta into the pan and allow to set until cool, about 20 minutes. Once cooled, cut the polenta into squares.
3. To grill the polenta, heat a skillet on medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the polenta squares and grill for 3 minutes on each side until crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside. Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven until ready to use.
