When we make polenta, we use polenta leftovers for lunch, grilling them.
Are there any other uses for polenta leftovers?

My wife makes (made up?) a super-quick tasty dish: Sautee spinach, mushrooms & garlic (2 cloves if you like it garlicky) layer polenta on the bottom of a baking dish Add spinach/mushroom/garlic mix Add black beans (1 can) Mix in a little salsa Cover with cheese Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted. |

You can slice it thin, cut it into pieces, dip into flour and fry it in oil or butter according to your preference. Or use it as a base for something with a sauce like chicken cacciatore. Enjoy! |

slice it, top it with a little tomato sauce or tomato slices, basil and mozzarella, toss into the oven for a few minutes until its warmed and the cheese is melty (or nuke it). Maybe add a slice of pepperoni. |

You can keep it in the fridge for few days. The simplest way to reuse it is to grill it and then serve with cheese (like gorgonzola) or crème fraiche. |

You can serve them with a good dripping of aged balsamic vinegar. Also, if you have access to Italian soft cheeses, like Squacquerone or Stracchino, they get along really well. |
