Ingredients:

Serving

24 oz herb prepared polenta
1/4 cup roasted red pepper (now you can always make your own, but i always have a jar on hand)
1 large yellow tomatoes, fine chopped
1 medium sweet onion (cut in thick slices)
4 tbsp pitted kalamata olives, cut in half
1/3 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 tbsp crumbled feta
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 garlic cloves, rough chopped ( smashed, skins removed)
3 tbsp basil, fine chopped
5 tbsp olive oil (2 for compote, 2 for polenta, 1 for garnish)
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Directions:

Compote - In a medium sauce pan, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 3-4 minutes. Once nice and brown, add the tomatoes, roasted and yellow along with the peppers to the pan and cook about 15 minutes until very soft.
Wine - As the tomatoes cook add the wine to a small sauce pan and let it reduce on medium heat. You want it to reduce so you end up no more than 2-3 tablespoons of wine.
Polenta and Onion - Now as the wine reduces, grill the polenta and onions. I slice the polenta into 1/2 thick slices as well as the onion and then brush the grill pan with the olive oil and grill both until golden brown on each side. Now you can do this in a skillet, but I prefer the outdoor grill or a indoor grill pan.
Finishing the Compote - Add the butter to the wine and mix well. Then add another teaspoon of olive oil, chick peas and olives to the tomato mix. Cook another 3-4 minutes as you finish the polenta and the onion slices. Then stir in salt, pepper, and the fresh basil.
Plate - Arrange the grilled polenta on the plate and top with the tomato compote, grilled onion rings, drizzle with the last tablespoon of olive oil and the feta. You can add a few fresh basil leaves if you want to garnish.
NOTE: You can make the tomato compote the day ahead and just heat up before you use it. Just do not add the basil until you are ready to serve it.
