Vegetarian / Polenta and Goat's Cheese Stack with photo
« on: November 30, 2010, 06:09:34 am »
Polenta and Goat's Cheese Stack:
Can be adjusted to serve as many as you wish:
Ingredients:
Vegetables that can be roasted, eg pumpkin, beetroot, onions, etc
2 garlic cloves
EVOO
thyme and rosemary sprigs
spinach-about 50g per serve, wilted
polenta-about 100g per serve
parmesan about 20g per serve
 nutmeg
50g goat's cheese for each serve
Dressing
6 tablespoons sherry, 1-2 teaspoons honey,2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy, a knob of butter, 2 tablespoons EVOO. Place these into the  *: and cook on 1000 for 4-5 minutes.


Preparation:
Roast the vegetables with EVOO and the herbs. (if made before they need to be crisped up and reheated when required)
Grate the parmesan and set aside
Bake the vegetables and set aside. These can be done the day before.
Cook the polenta EDC page 84 and add the parmesan, about 50g of spinach per serve and nutmeg. Set aside to cool for a while.
While the polenta is still soft place each serve onto a piece of glad wrap and flatten slightly.
Put the goat's cheese into the centre and draw the glad wrap up and around to make burger shape polenta and twist. The cheese should be sealed in the centre.
Cool completely, this may be left for up to 2 days.
When ready to serve, heat oil in a pan and cook the polenta cakes for about 5 minutes each side.
Serve the polenta cakes with the roasted vegetables on and around.
Can be served with the dressing.

Tips/Hints:
I made this quite some time ago but I think I have got it fairly correct. It is an adaption of a similar recipe from BBC Good Food.
It seems complicated but it's not.

Churchill I empathise with that. I tend to think I want to make bread, what type don't we have in the freezer at the moment. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I love red bean paste.  Where do you buy it? I want to make a recipe of Poh's that uses it and haven't been out looking for it yet.

Just been to the spud shed and bought a heap of plums. They were still $3.99/kg but I felt in the need of some stewed plums. :) Got some nice peaches and apricots too.

I only make vegie stock too. This looks easy though.  I will have to fight my DH for the next chicken carcass before he gets to pull it apart and eat all the leftover bits.

Garlic, spinach and mushrooms, I would never have thought of that and it looks delicious. We're having quiche tonight. Not sure what I'm putting into it apart from the eggs and cheese.

CP 63 I have just finished The Glass Castle for book club. I loved it. We had Eat Pray Love before that and I didn't like it one bit.
I'm into who dunnits mainly, but enjoy other genres.

Gretchen Monica Mc's book is fine. It seems light but then I read for entertainment not to solve problems. I'm really enjoying it. DD has read The Time Traveller's Wife. I'm not sure what she thought of it. You are indeed amazing reading lots of books at once. The most I casn do is 2. One book, one e reader book.

Welcome to the forum sbunter. No, sorry about the recipes. I wonder if anyone on the forum was lucky enough to go? Perhaps they are keeping quiet about it. Hopefully there will be something on HO site about it sooner or later.

Chookie good on you. Wow an ipad. I really don't think I dare think about one. I own a netbook and a laptop and use DD's computer all the time.

Gretchen what are you reading at the moment? I've just started Monica McInerney's latest "At Home with the Templetons." I heard her speak last year about her writing. It's light but entertaining.
