Grilled Polenta with Roasted Veggies and Basil Oil

Serves 4-6 Prep Time 2 hours   Cook Time 20 minutes   Rated:

This recipe is so beautiful to look at that I always recommend it as a part of a dinner party menu. Make sure you use a good variety of colors in your veggie choice and you can't go wrong...and as for flavour! Well, it goes without saying, this is DIVINE! You can serve individually or use a beautiful platter of your choice.

Really the best way to cook polenta is fortunately in your Thermomix, so this recipe just becomes easy and do-able. Have a little patience when grilling the set polenta as you don’t want it to break up. Rather better to go slower and have it keep its shape. It is very pretty when all is said and done!

Enjoy.
