When cold and set, cut the polenta into 8 triangles, brush both sides with the rest of the olive oil, place on a baking tray and grill for 5-6 minutes. Using a palette knife, loosen and turn each triangle over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until crisp and golden. Gently heat the sauce for 3-4 minutes in a small non-stick pan over a low heat. Put the polenta on 4 large warmed plates, spoon on the sauce and scatter over the rest of the Parmesan. To serve either arrange a pile of rocket leaves to one side and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, or add to linguine. |
