Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube precooked polenta (in a tube)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the precooked polenta tube into 1/2-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the polenta rounds to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a serving plate.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves to the butter and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sage becomes crispy and the butter turns golden brown. Remove the saucepan from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Arrange the polenta rounds on a serving plate and drizzle the sage butter over each round, ensuring each piece is garnished with a sage leaf.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the polenta rounds.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
