Wouldn't have thought that. In safety-crazy germany a snack company tells you to check yourself if your product is still good instead of indiscriminately throwing it away when the expiration date is reached. (After all, that date says "best before" not "certainly deadly by"...). I'm positively surprised.

Crispy Polenta Medallions with Ricotta and Marinated Tomatoes

I try never to waste food, and I was on a quest to use some polenta in the fridge before it was too late. The perfect combination was born: the rich, earthy flavors of the polenta would complement the savoriness of balsamic and the flavors of summer tomatoes. This is a must-serve appetizer if you’re having friends or family over for dinner, just like I did! Try it out and let me know what you think!

Ingredients:

  • 1 tube (18 oz) of pre-cooked polenta
  • 1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
  • 10 cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt, divided
  • 4 tbsp lard or Crisco for frying (or olive oil if preferred, but lard or Crisco will make the polenta crispy)

Instructions:

  • Marinate the Tomatoes:
    In a medium bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, chopped basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and ¼ tsp of sea salt. Toss gently to coat the tomatoes evenly. Cover the bowl and let the mixture marinate for about an hour at room temperature.
  • Prepare the Polenta Medallions:
    Slice the polenta log into ½-inch thick rounds. Heat the lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the polenta rounds into the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Assemble the Dish:
    Place the crispy polenta medallions on a serving platter. Spoon a dollop of fresh ricotta onto each medallion. Top each with a spoonful of the marinated tomatoes, allowing some of the delicious balsamic marinade to drip onto the ricotta & medallions.
  • Serve:
    Garnish with extra fresh basil and a light drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately as an appetizer or light snack.
