Ingredients
17
ounce
Polenta
the kind you can slice
2
tablespoons
olive oil
1
cup
whole milk ricotta cheese
2
heirloom tomatoes
sliced into small chunks
10
fresh basil leaves

Jacobsen Black Garlic Salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Remove polenta from package and use a sharp knife to cut 12 slices.
Coat each slice with olive oil and grill over medium high heat for about 5 minutes each side. This can be done ahead of time or just prior to serving.
Add ricotta cheese to a plastic bag and snip off the corner to easily pipe a layer onto the grilled polenta squares.
Mix the tomato with the basil and spoon on top of the ricotta cheese.
Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
