Soft Polenta With Pan-charred Vegetables

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat a very large heavy-based frying pan with lid. Pour the polenta
into the pan of boiling water, beating well with a wooden spoon until
the mixture thickens.  2 Remove from the heat, crumble over the
Gorgonzola and drop in the  butter. Cover and set aside. Seed and slice
the peppers and garlic.  3 Add the oil to the hot frying pan and when
it starts to smoke,  throw in the vegetables. Cover and cook over the
highest heat for a  minute.  4 Roughly chop the tomatoes and toss into
the pan with the olives.  Replace the lid and cook for a further
minute, season to taste.  5 Beat the melting Dolcelatte and the knob of
butter into the polenta,  check the seasoning, adding a little hot
water if the mixture is too  thick.  6 Spoon the polenta into bowls and
top with the charred vegetables  (just use half). Coarsely grate over
some fresh Parmesan, scatter  over the basil and serve.  7 Spoon the
remaining vegetables alongside the grilled polenta,  scatter over some
Parmesan and basil and serve.  Variation  A plate of plain polenta,
cooked, set, cut into triangles and  chargrilled can be served with the
vegetables as an alternative to  the wet polenta.  Converted by
