BAKED GARLIC HERB POLENTA SQUARES

Steps:

• Get a medium saucepan and an 8 x 8 baking dish. Spray the baking dish with the Olive Oil Cooking Spray (as needed).
• Then combine the Milk (2 cup), Chicken Stock (2 cup), Garlic (3 clove), Dried Parsley (1/2 teaspoon), Dried Tarragon (1/2 teaspoon), Salt (1 pinch), and Dried Thyme (1/2 teaspoon) in the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium high heat. Whisk it a few times to stir it all together.
• Then slowly pour in the Polenta (1 cup) while you continue to whisk. Keep whisking while the polenta cooks for about 3 minutes. Once it is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sauce and Asiago Cheese (1/4 cup).
• Spread the mixture into a packed, even layer in the baking pan and refrigerate it uncovered for 30 minutes. This will make it firm and set for baking.
• When the 30 minutes is almost up, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with more cooking spray. Take out the chilled tray of polenta and cut it into 12 squares. Remove them from the pan and transfer them to the baking sheet.
• Bake them for 20-25 minutes until they become slightly crisp on the outside and creamy
• Serve immediately with Ketchup (to taste) or marinara for dipping!

BAKED POLENTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease an 11 by 17-inch baking sheet pan with oil. Line pan with waxed paper. The oil will secure the waxed paper onto the pan.
• In a large pot bring to a boil 2 quarts of salted water. Stir in extra-virgin olive oil. When water has reached a boil, reduce heat to medium high and slowly add the polenta, whisking constantly for 3 minutes. When polenta is thick and smooth, pour it into the prepared pan. Spread the polenta evenly.
• Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan. Note: the polenta will not brown or change in color. When cool enough to handle, cut into any shape you desire. I like to cut out 2-inch circles.
