2/3 cup balsamic vinegar |
1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated prepared polenta, cut into 8 slices |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper |
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices |
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 4 slices each |

Directions:
1. Bring vinegar to a boil in 2-quart saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 9 to 10 minutes or until reduced to 1/3 cup. Set aside. 2. Meanwhile lightly shape ground beef into eight 1/2-inch thick patties. 3. Brush polenta slices with oil. 4. Place patties in center of grid over medium, ash-covered coals; arrange polenta around patties. 5. Grill patties and polenta, uncovered, 11 to 12 minutes or until patties are medium (160°F) doneness, and polenta is heated through, turning once and basting patties with 2 tablespoons reduced vinegar after turning. 6. Season burgers with salt and pepper, as desired. 7. For each serving, layer 1 each polenta slice, burger, mozzarella slice and tomato slice. Drizzle with remaining vinegar and sprinkle with basil, as desired. |
