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.
