PREPARATION
PREPARING THE POLENTA
1.
In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring the water and the salt to just a boil.
2.
Reduce the heat, slowly whisk in the polenta and season with pepper.
3.
Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to tighten up, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4.
Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 3/4 cup of the grated parmesan.
5.
Continue to stir until well combined and very thick, taste for seasoning adjustment.
6.
Liberally apply butter to a small baking dish on the bottom and about 2-inches up the side.
7.
Pour in the hot polenta and with a rubber spatula, rubbed with butter, smooth out the top. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to set. (This can also be done up to 1 day ahead.)
COOKING THE POLENTA
8.
When ready to pan fry, remove the polenta from the baking dish and cut it into equal squares.
9.
Brush each side of the polenta with olive oil and pan sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
TO SERVE
10.
Top with grated zucchini, diced pancetta, and quartered tomatoes.
