- . Note: most of the roasted vegetables had been made prior to assembling the montage on top of the freshly prepared Polenta puff patties.
- . For the roasting of the eggplants, onions and tomatoes: Pre-heat oven at 425F/220C/Gas6 and place oven rack at the second level from the bottom.
- . Slice the eggplant and salt each slice. Make sure it sweats out its bitterness. This will take about 30 minutes set up on a rack. Then place each patted-dry slice on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place the sliced onion rounds in between the eggplant. On the same baking sheet, place the tomato slices sprinkled with a little sea salt, garlic granules and optional sugar. They'll roast very well together. The roasting should take about 45-50 minutes or until they look caramelized.
- . VEGETABLE sauté: Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, sauté the chopped onion and red pepper. Begin on medium-high to then caramelize on medium low heat. Pour the Sherry and have its alcohol release during a few seconds. Mix in the seasoning and shut the heat. Let it rest until ready to assemble the polenta montage.
- . POLENTA PATTIES: Brush each slice with a little olive oil and place on another parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the sea salt and granulated garlic. Right after the vegetables have been roasted, bake for 40 minutes or until the puff has magically appeared in the patties.
- . ASSEMBLY - Montage and Garnish: Place Eggplant as the base to the Polenta patties and pile up the layers: Onion, tomato, cheese. Top the montage with the vegetable sauté. Fresh basil leaves along with a butternut squash purée were used to finalize the meal preparation.
- . Buon appetito and flavourful wishes...FOODESSA.COM
