Polenta With Winter Salad, Poached Egg, And Blue Cheese From 'Feast'
- 3 1/2 cups (840 ml) water
- 1 cup (140 g) polenta
- Sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ounce (30 g) cheddar or Dubliner cheese, grated
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 small head radicchio, chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 head frisee, torn into bite-size pieces
- Dash white or regular balsamic vinegar
- 4 large eggs, poached
- 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 55 g) Danish blue, Roquefort, Valdeon blue, or Gorgonzola cheese
- Bring 3 cups (720 ml) of the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Slowly add the polenta, stir with a wooden spoon, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the polenta is tender and fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Add the milk, 2 tablespoons of the butter, and the cheddar to the polenta and stir together over medium-low heat until just warmed through and soft enough to drop easily from a spoon, a few minutes more. Cover to keep warm.
- Heat the olive oil in your largest skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are charred and have burst, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the radicchio and frisee and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Reduce the heat to medium-low and toss together.
- Spoon the polenta into bowls and top with the salad and poached eggs. Crumble the blue cheese over the top before serving.
