GRILLED POLENTA ROUNDS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
I found this recipe in the Australian Woman's Day magazine. I made them as an appetiser for a dinner party and they were well received. They are quick and easy to make and can be prepared well before guests arrive. I added a whole avocado into the salsa because I love it. The only other change I would consider would be to use tomato in place of some or all of the capsicum in the salsa. I like capsicum, just not as a main ingredient! Cooking time includes the 3 hours chilling time.

Steps:

- Stir in cheese and season to taste.
- Spoon the polenta mixture into prepared pan, smoothing top. Cool, then chill for 3 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, transfer polenta to a board. Using a 5cm round cutter, cut into 18 rounds.
- Preheat char-grill or barbecue on high. Grease lightly with oil. Char-grill rounds for 3-4 minutes each side, until polenta is crisp and browned.
- Meanwhile, to make the salsa, combine all the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and season to taste.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring the water and the salt to just a boil. Reduce the heat, slowly whisk in the polenta and season with pepper. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to tighten up, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fresh chopped herbs, 2 tablespoons of the butter and the Parmesan. Continue to stir until well combined and very thick, taste for seasoning adjustment.
- Liberally butter a 10-inch springform pan on the bottom and about 2-inches up the side. Pour in the hot polenta and with a rubber spatula, rubbed with butter, smooth out the top. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to set. (This can also be done up to 1 day ahead.)
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- When ready to grill, or pan fry, remove the polenta from the pan and cut it into equal pie shapes or cut circles with a biscuit cutter. Lightly oil a grill, brush each side of the polenta with olive oil and grill or pan sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Arrange the polenta on a serving platter and serve hot.

Steps:
- Bring 1.5 litres of water to the boil in a large saucepan. While stirring the water constantly with a wooden spoon, tip in the polenta in a steady stream. Lower the heat so the polenta isn't spluttering too much, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins. Meanwhile, line a 40 x 30cm tray with baking parchment. Stir the corn, chilli and grated cheese into the polenta with 2 tsp salt, then spoon out onto the tray. Spread to a rough rectangle, making sure the polenta is packed tightly and there are no gaps. Cover with another sheet of baking parchment and a flat baking tray, then top with some cans or jars to press and flatten the polenta while you chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, or up to a day.
- Before barbecuing, mix together the avocado, cucumber, spring onions, coriander, lime and 2 tbsp oil with seasoning.
- Heat the barbecue (or a griddle pan), trim the edges off the set polenta to neaten, then slice into 12 wedges. Brush both sides of each wedge with a little of the remaining oil and barbecue or griddle for 5 mins on each side until charred and hot through. Serve a couple of wedges per person, topped with a generous spoon of the chunky green salsa.

- First, make the pickled red onions. Put the onions in a small bowl and pour 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and salt over the top. Stir until the onions are well coated. Let the onions sit in the vinegar, stirring frequently. They need to sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Toss the beans, avocado, cilantro, onions, 1 tablespoon of the oil, remaining tablespoon of vinegar, and salt and pepper, to taste in a small bowl. Set aside while you cook the polenta.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rounds of polenta and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3-5 minutes per side. You can do this in two batches if you don't have a large enough skillet. Transfer the polenta to a plate, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm, and set aside.
- There should be enough oil left in the skillet you cooked the polenta in, but if there is not, add a little more. Add the eggs to the skillet, cover, and cook until the edges are crispy and the yolk and whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
