How to grill polenta
Be sure to cook the polenta to the thickness described in the recipe; otherwise it will never firm up enough for you to slice and grill it.
We grilled rounds, but did you know you can make polenta squares with these combinations?
- Add goat cheese, grilled onions, and your favorite herb.
- Dilled sour cream and smoked salmon.
- Make your own salmon dip and spread on warm grilled polenta, with a sprinkle of dill.
- Caprese Polenta Bites are a huge hit at every party.
- Add goat cheese with dried tomatoes, a sprinkle of basil, and oregano.
The combination ideas go on and on.

And don’t forget that you can fry or grill the polenta – easy!
We kayaked the Deschutes River again with our lovely friends from out of town. We beat the heat and were on the water at 9:30 am and it was so lovely. Mellow, peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of Canada geese, ducks, and a lot of birds. There is nothing better than an early morning float.
Back to a great dinner that night and this appetizer board. The PERFECT summer treat!
ENJOY!
