4 packet
polenta
(Contains: Milk, Soy, Wheat, Gluten, May contain traces of allergens; )
1 packet
Cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 sachet
Vegetable Stock Powder
1 packet
Grated Parmesan Cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
1
Spring Onion
100 g
Diced Bacon
2 packet
Onion Chutney
(Contains: Sulphites; )
1 drizzle
olive oil
4 cup
water
40 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
½ tsp
salt
2 tbs
balsamic vinegar
1 tsp
brown sugar
¼ cup
water (for the sauce)

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
Grease and line two 20cm square baking tins.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water
(for the polenta), cream and vegetable stock
powder and bring to the boil over high heat.
• Reduce heat to medium and slowly whisk in
polenta, then cook, stirring, until smooth and
thickened, 1-2 minutes.

• Remove from the heat, then stir in the butter,
grated Parmesan cheese, salt and a good pinch
of pepper, until melted.
• Pour the mixture into the baking dishes and
smooth the surface (mixture should be about
2cm thickness).
• Drizzle with olive oil and bake, until golden,
30-35 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.

• When polenta has 5 minutes remaining, thinly
slice spring onion.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil
over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon,
breaking up with a spoon, until golden,
6-7 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then stir in onion
chutney, the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar
and water (for the sauce). Cook until reduced,
2-3 minutes.

• Once the baked polenta has cooled slightly,
remove from the dishes and slice into fingers.

• Transfer golden baked Parmesan polenta slices
to a serving platter and sprinkle over spring
onion. Serve with chutney-bacon jam. Enjoy!
