Grilled polenta with ham & asperagus

These cheesy grilled polenta slices taste great with a bit of pesto and ham.

I've made 16 blocks of polenta in one baking tin, 4 times this recipe.

Tips

  • Use a small baking tin when you're making just one portion. Use a large one when you're making 16 blocks.
  • It tastes good both cold and warm, so have it cold for lunch the next day.
