  • 3/4 cup Polenta Instant
  • 750 mL Liquid Chicken Stock Salt-reduced
  • 250 mL Water
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 125 mL Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Light Coats of Olive Oil Spray

  • 4 pcs Garlic Cloves
  • 80 g Kalamata Olives Pitted, drained
  • 100 g Semi-dried Tomatoes Drained, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Parsley Chopped

Instructions
 

  • Line the base and sides of a 4cm-deep, 16cm x 26cm (base) slab pan with baking paper.
  • Bring the stock and water to the boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the polenta, in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until thick.

  • Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until thick and syrupy.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cut polenta into triangles. Lightly spray with oil. Cook, in batches, for 3–4 minutes on each side or until golden.
  • Lightly spray a large frying pan with olive oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Add the olives and tomatoes. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until warmed through. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the parsley. Place polenta on plates. Top with mushroom mixture. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve.
