- 6. Cut polenta into 4" squares, brush with garlic oil and grill until crispy on both sides. Remove from grill.
- 7. Prepare chevre cream while polenta is being grilled by softening the cheese with a hand held kitchen mixer. Add sour cream and beat until well combined.
- 8. To serve: On a polenta square spread chevre mix to cover surface, sprinkle with herb mixture, chopped tomato and mushrooms. Top with another pinch of mixed fresh herbs, season with good salt and pepper, and serve.
