Ingredients (4 servings):

Polenta:

  • 250 g cornmeal, polenta

  • 1 l water

  • 1 tsp salt 

  • pepper

  • 30 g butter (+ a bit more)

  • 150 g chevre

  • 200 g sour cream 

  • 1-2 garlic

  • fresh parsley or coriander for garnish

How to:

Polenta:

Turn oven to 200 C.

Add the cornmeal,water salt and pepper into a medium saucepan and cook it while constantly stirring for about 5 minutes / until it gets thick. Add the butter and stir, then pour it onto a flat surface, try to make it as rectangular as possible and let it cool.

When the polenta has cooled down and hardened, cut out 12 squares and place around 1 tbsp of chevre in each square and make them into balls. Place the balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet and put it in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Just so the outsides get a little colour. 

While the balls are in the oven, make the sauce. Mix sour cream, crushed garlic and the remaining chevre into a nice sauce.

Remove the polenta balls from the oven and add the sauce and garnish with fresh parsley or coriander.
