Ingredients

  • 600 ml Water

  • 200 g Polenta

  • 50 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 spoon Cheese, Parmesan, grated

  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 2 spoons Oil, olive

  • 2 spoons Honey

Steps

  1. Place a pot of salted water on the stove and wait for it to boil, then stir in the polenta and cook for the time indicated on the packaging (approximately 5 minutes). Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

  2. Mix half of the butter, Parmesan, and salt into the cooked polenta. Pour the hot polenta into a baking dish, spread it 5 mm thick, and let it cool completely. Once cooled, cut the polenta into 4 cm squares.

  3. Place a pan on the stove, heat the oil, and lightly fry the polenta squares on both sides. Fry the squares for about 4 minutes, then place them on a paper towel to remove excess fat.

  4. Stack two squares together and top them with half a teaspoon of butter and honey. Arrange them on a platter and serve to your guests.
