What's Cooking EDF? #4

[ElSapo]

I haven't been cooking much because I've been trying to lose weight. Everything has been more simple and less involved/complicated. But this weekend I wanted to make something, and this is what came out:

Pan seared polenta (Double Gloucester & Garlic polenta), with a caramelzied balsamic sauce.

For the polenta, it's a relatively standard recipe (1 cup corn meal, four cups water, salt & pepper) and I added minced garlic as it started to come together and the cheese as it got thick.

I chill it overnight in some shallow containers and turned it out and cut it discs with biscuit cutters. Pan seared in olive oil.

For the sauce, it's a light caramel that I added balsamic to, and then whisked in some oil. I let that stand overnight with a sprig of rosemary and a clove of garlic in it.
