Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • one 14-ounce can Italian-type tomatoes, finely cut up
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers
  • 1 tube prepared polenta
  • Italian seasoning, grated parmesan or romano cheese to taste (optional)

Directions
  1. For the TOMATO-CAPER SAUCE: Cook the chopped onion and minced garlic in hot olive oil in a medium saucepan. Carefully stir in the tomatoes and the tomato paste. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until desired consistency. Stir in 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil and 1 tablespoon drained capers. This can be done up to 2 days ahead; prepare sauce, cover, and chill. To serve, reheat in a saucepan.
  2. Slice polenta (not too thin or it will fall apart). Place on baking sheet and bake in 350 degree oven for 5 minutes. Turn over and sprinkle with some Italian seasoning, garlic salt and parmesan or romano cheese, as desired. Bake for 5-10 minutes more or until golden. (You can run it under the broiler for a minute or two if you want/need to.)
  3. Arrange on platter and put warm tomato-caper sauce in the middle so people can help themselves just like a bruschetta.

I never thought of putting capers with my polenta, I mean it is widely used in Italian dishes. Thank goodness we have you to come up with this recipe.


This sounds so different. I am definitely going to try this. We always do an appetizer buffet during the holidays and this will be a welcome addition. Five forks from me!
