Salad With Fetta Polenta Method

Make sure to firstly grease a 20cm x 30cm lamington pan lined with baking paper. Then preheat the oven to moderately hot. In a large saucepan combine the water and stock and bring it to the boil and then add the polenta stirring constantly. Turn the heat down and keep stirring for 10 minutes or until the polenta thickens. Stir in the cheese then spread the polenta into the prepared pan and let cool for 10 minutes then cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until the polenta is firm. Meanwhile take off the beetroot stems and leaves then quarter unpeeled beetroots and place in large shallow baking dish and drizzle with half of the oil. Roast uncovered in moderately hot oven for 15 minutes.

Add the pumpkin and drizzle with the remaining oil and roast uncovered in moderately hot oven for about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Make the walnut vinaigrette by adding the ingredients to a screw top jar and shaking then set aside. When the beetroot is cool enough to handle peel the skin off and place it in a large bowl with dressing and toss gently to combine. Turn the polenta onto a board and trim the edges then cut into 12 pieces and cook in batches on a heated oiled grill plate until brown on both sides and heated through. Add the pumpkin, spinach and nuts to the beetroot mixture and toss gently to combine. Divide the polenta pieces among the serving plates and top with salad.
