Ingredients

  • 1 cup polenta
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil.

  2. 2

    Slowly whisk in polenta, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  4. 4

    Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and mix well.

  5. 5

    Transfer polenta to a greased dish and smooth the top. Let it cool and set for about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Once set, cut polenta into squares or rectangles.

  7. 7

    Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

  8. 8

    Grill the polenta squares for about 4-5 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and they're heated through. Meanwhile, grill the sliced vegetables until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Serve polenta hot topped with grilled vegetables and fresh herbs.
