Fun with Polenta

Last night I tried to prepare a simple side dish of grilled polenta with mozzarella and pasta sauce.  Unfortunately, I don’t think I grilled them very well. I let the slices cook for about 4 minutes on each side on fairly high heat (I was using an indoor grill pan) with some olive oil, but they didn’t turn out quite brown. Regardless, I took them off the grill and placed them in the broiling pan, topped each slice with a dollop of marinara sauce and some shredded mozzarella, and popped them in the broiler for 2 minutes.

They turned out OK, but I think they could be better.

Tonight I think I’ll try another batch, but maybe this time fry the suckers with butter in my trusty cast-iron pan.
