Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Gather the ingredients.
  2. Step 2

    Pour warm polenta into a glass loaf pan. Smooth the top, cover and refrigerate until set, a few hours or up to overnight.
  3. Step 3

    Turn the polenta onto a cutting board. It should be completely molded into the shape of your loaf pan. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Brush each slice on both sides with olive oil.
  4. Step 4

    Pre heat a medium (400°F to 475°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Place each slice diagonally across the grill and let it cook until dark-brown grill marks appear, about 10 minutes. Do not move the polenta around or you will disturb the browning process.
  5. Step 5

    Flip and grill the other side until grill marks appear, about another 10 minutes. Serve hot with a sprinkle of flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
