Orange Polenta With Orange Balsamico Sauce image

I saw this in a tv cooking show in 2002 and scribbled the recipe down. It was meant as a side for some kind of veal which I don't remember, but I mostly serve it with salmon. For reduced stock, reduce 2 cups of chicken stock to 1 cup by simmering. In place of pecorino you can also use parmesan cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 oranges
1 garlic clove
thyme, 4 sprigs
rosemary, 1 sprig
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 1/4 ounces cornmeal
1 3/8 ounces pecorino cheese, grated
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 3/8 ounces butter
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup chicken stock, reduced

Steps:

  • Filet two oranges, set aside.
  • Juice the remaining orange and mix the juice with stock, olive oil, garlic clove (whole), thyme, rosemary and salt and bring to a boil.
  • As soon as the liquid is boiling, remove garlic clove, thyme and rosemary.
  • Slowly stir in the cornmeal, reduce heat and let simmer, stirring constantly, until the polenta is no longer gritty (about 10 minutes).
  • Stir in grated pecorino (or parmesan cheese), set aside.
  • In a saucepan combine balsamico and brown sugar, slowly bring to a boil and let caramelize. Carefully pour in reduced stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat and add butter.
  • As soon as the butter is molten, add the orange filets, gently heat and immediately serve with polenta.
