Polenta Rounds, Appetizer or Entree - Works Both Ways







For the Polenta rounds, the center is topped with tomato sauce, mushrooms enhanced with beef broth & white wine, and Fontina Cheese. The two outside servings are topped with pesto, mushrooms and Fontina cheese. Asparagus spears serve as garnishes and complement the dish. The Polenta "rounds' were molded using "ramkin" dishes gently rubbed with olive oil to allow the shaped polenta to slide out of the dish without sticking.
