- Add chopped garlic and sauté very briefly, until garlic starts to perfume the oil but has not yet browned. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and drizzle over polenta.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes.

This was quick, easy, delicious and an economical dish to prepare. There wasn't quite enough sage butter sauce to drizzle over the polenta. I think next time I will increase the sage/butter sauce ingredients a little more. I used tubed organic polenta from Trader Joe's and fresh sage from our garden. Thanks for posting the recipe. Served with a tossed mixed greens' salad and French bread. cg ;)

Had a prepared package of polenta with garlic and basil, and a need to get dinner on QUICK !! Adding the chopped garlic to the bubbling oil and butter caused a minor explosion, and I think the garlic "browned" too quickly, so I took it off the burner and stirred for a few minutes. It was difficult to "drizzle" --I should have used a spoon - but ultimately, the flavors were pleasant. I think the ORDER of the ingredients could better reflect the order of use. (i.e. "spray baking sheet with olive oil spray") First ! We had this with left-over ribs and sauerkraut, and had a full and satisfying meal.

I love cooking and always have. I learned how to cook as a young kid and I've worked as a prep cook for a catering company and for a restaurant though I am no longer working in that industry.
Being a food lover, it was an unpleasant surprise to develop major food intolerances within the past few years. I've been 100% gluten-free since 07/06 out of medical necessity and am cutting down on dairy and soy since they make me ill in large quantities. I'm also working on becoming kosher. So, you'll see reflected in my recipes my recent interest in developing recipes that are both kosher and suitable for people with food allergies, without sacrificing taste. And there's lots of good stuff in my cookbooks for those of you with no food allergies, too, of course!
My areas of specialty are gluten-free baking and cooking, dairy substitution, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and Jewish cooking.
