POLENTA BITES WITH WILD MUSHROOMS AND FONTINA



Polenta Bites with Wild Mushrooms and Fontina image

Store-bought tubes of polenta are the ultimate appetizer shortcut: just slice and toast in the oven, top with sautéed wild mushrooms and a sprinkling of grated Fontina, then bake again until melty and irresistible. A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and a splash of Sherry vinegar punch up the flavor of the mushrooms.

1 1/2 cups quick-cooking polenta
4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
olive oil to grease pan

Slice the polenta into small squares, brush with a little olive oil and place under the grill (broiler) for a few minutes until crisp. Top each square with a heaped teaspoon of tapenade and half a cherry tomato. Sprinkle with parsley and black pepper to serve.
