Cuke-a-Mato Broiled Polenta Recipe

  • 1 (16 ounce) tube polenta, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 4 plum (Roma) tomatoes, seeded, diced
  • 1 cup diced seedless cucumber
  • 1 (10 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Preheat an oven broiler. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Line the prepared pan with the polenta slices; set aside. Combine diced tomatoes, cucumber, and olives in a large bowl. Add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper to taste; mix. Spoon this topping over the polenta slices, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
