Fried polenta

We tried a scramble recipe last night that used pre-made polenta in a tube (find it in the deli cheeses in Safeway, apparently the grain section in other places).

It was sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds, BBQd for 3-4 minutes on a side. Tomatoes, grated Parmesan, and a EVOO-chopped fresh basil-4 clove garlic pressed-sea salt-pepper mixture was poured over the top. SCRUMPTIOUS!

But we had leftover BBQd polenta in the morning. I've been experimenting for a breakfast meal. Butter and strawberry preserves are fine on it, but the strawberry totally overpowers the polenta (no taste comes through at all), whereas the other wonderfully complimented the polenta.

Somehow we don't have any syrup in the house... going for butter and powdered sugar next.

Butter and powdered sugar - muuuuuch better. It's a really interesting taste. A good interesting! A new and good interesting.

Went back to the strawberry (had some preserves left on the corner of the plate) - I think I was using too much before. It's nice now ;)

Actually, I think a little of the p. sugar is on the plate still with the strawberries - I think a little is needed on the underside of the strawberry topped polenta rounds. Yum!
