Ingredients
For the Polenta Cakes:
- 1 tube pre-cooked polenta, sliced crosswise into 1/4-1/2” thick rounds
- ¼ cup flour
- 3 tbsp Olive oil (for frying)
Whipped Feta:
- 4 oz feta cheese
- 2 oz Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
Tomato-Cucumber Herb Salad:
- 5-6 SUNSET® Campari® Tomatoes, diced
- 1 Persian cucumber, finely diced
- 1-2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- In a food processor or blender, combine feta, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust honey or lemon if needed. Set aside.
- Mix the tomatoes, cucumber, hemp seeds, herbs, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Toss and let sit for 5–10 minutes to chill and absorb flavor.
- Slice the polenta into ½-inch thick rounds. Dust each side of the polenta with the flour to help crisp when cooking in the oil.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pan-fry the rounds until golden and crisp on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the extra oil.
- To assemble the cakes, spread a generous layer of whipped feta on each crispy polenta cake and then spoon a small mound of the tomato-cucumber salad over the whipped feta.
- Serve immediately while the polenta is warm and the toppings are cool and bright.
