Ingredients
-
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
-
1/3 cup raisins
-
1/4 cup dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
-
1 teaspoon honey
-
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 (16 ounce) tube refrigerated cooked polenta
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 (4-ounce) package goat cheese (chèvre), crumbled
Directions
-
Put a rimmed baking sheet in oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
-
Bring tomatoes, raisins, and red wine to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer mixture, uncovered, until raisins are plump and most of liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in honey, vinegar, thyme, and salt.
-
Meanwhile, slice polenta into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Gently toss polenta with oil in a large bowl. Remove baking sheet from oven. Arrange rounds in an even layer on baking sheet.
-
Bake polenta rounds in the preheated oven, turning halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp on both sides, about 15 minutes.
-
To serve, top polenta rounds with goat cheese and tomato mixture. Garnish with thyme. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Tips:
Vegan-ize: Replace honey with agave syrup, use a vegan wine, omit goat cheese, add top bites with 2 to 3 tablespoons toasted pine nuts.
Make it Meaty: Top polenta bites with 3 ounces (about 5 slices) crisp-cooked and chopped prosciutto.
