Description

This grilled polenta with strawberries recipe is topped with Grand Marnier-flavored and lightly sweetened berries — a perfect adult summer dessert.

• 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries

• 1 tablespoon brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)

• 1/2 teaspoon white sugar

• 1 (16 ounce) package prepared polenta

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

• 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• cooking spray

1 Combine strawberries, orange-flavored liqueur, and sugar in a small bowl: stir to coat.

2 Cut polenta into 8 slices (½- to ¾-inch-thick). Lightly brush with olive oil; season with salt and black pepper.

3 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly coat the grate with cooking spray.

4 Cook polenta slices on the preheated grill, 7 to 10 minutes per side.

5 Place 2 polenta slices each onto 4 plates; top each with ¼ strawberry mixture.
