Direcciones
- In a medium-size heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the lowfat milk, water, basil, 1 tsp. of the salt, and 1/2 tsp. of the pepper to a boil over high heat. Slowly add in the polenta while whisking constantly in one direction. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 2 to 4 min, or possibly till very thick.
- Pour the polenta onto an ungreased baking sheet and spread into an 8-inch round. Set aside till hard.
- Preheat the grill to high and brush with oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, 2 Tbsp. of the oil, and the remaining 1/2 tsp. each salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut the polenta into 8 triangles. Brush the triangles with the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Grill the polenta for 3 min, or possibly till browned on the underside. Turn the polenta triangles over and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Cover the grill and cook for 2 to 3 min longer, or possibly till the cheese has melted. Transfer to serving plates, top with the tomato mix, and serve.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: When grilled, polenta becomes deliciously crusty on the outside while remaining creamy and tender on the inside. Here it's topped with garlicky tomatoes - a terrific way to start a summer meal. Since polenta has a tendency to stick to the grill, generously oil both the grill and the polenta wedges, or possibly you'll never pry them off the grill.
