Polenta with Eggplant in a Pan

by Editorial Staff

I cook corn polenta in a frying pan, then pour it with eggplant sauce, cover it with cheese, and put it under the grill. Insanely delicious!

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Eggplant (cut into 2 cm cubes) – 450 g
  • Fresh or canned tomatoes without skin (cut into cubes) – 400 g
  • Corn grits (polenta) – 1 cup
  • Parmesan cheese (shredded) – 40 g (3/4 cup)
  • Vegetable oil – 1/4 cup
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground black pepper – to taste
  • Water – 4 glasses
  • Fontina cheese (grated) – 120 g (1 glass)
  • Fresh basil (chopped) – 1/3 cup

Directions

  1. Place the grate in the oven 15 centimeters from the upper heating device, and turn on the oven with the “grill” function for preheating. In a large skillet with a removable or heat-resistant handle, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Put the eggplants in a preheated pan and cook, without stirring, until brown, about 4 minutes.
  3. Then reduce heat to medium and cook the eggplant, stirring occasionally, until brown on all sides, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
  5. Add tomatoes with juice and cook until lightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, transfer to a bowl.
  7. Pour water into an empty pan and bring to a boil. Gradually add corn grits and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook polenta over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  8. Then extinguish the heat, add Parmesan to the polenta pan, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Smooth the corn porridge and place the eggplant mixture on top. Sprinkle with fontina cheese and place under a preheated grill. Cook the eggplant polenta for about 6 minutes.
  10. Serve ready polenta sprinkled with fresh basil leaves.
  11. Pour polenta into boiling water, stirring occasionally.
  12. Place eggplant sauce on the Parmesan polenta and sprinkle with chopped fontina cheese.
