Grilled Polenta Rounds With Avocado Salsa

I found this recipe in the australian woman's day magazine. I made them as an appetiser for a dinner party and they were well received. They are quick and easy to make and can be prepared well before guests arrive. I added a whole avocado into the salsa because i love it. The only other change i would consider would be to use tomato in place of some or all of the capsicum in the salsa. I like capsicum, just not as a main ingredient! Cooking time includes the 3 hours chilling time.

Steps

Lightly grease and line an 18 x 28cm slice pan with baking paper.
In a large saucepan , bring stock and water to boil.
Gradually add polenta , stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and cook , stirring 5-10 minutes until polenta thickens.
Stir in cheese and season to taste.
Spoon the polenta mixture into prepared pan , smoothing top.
Cool , then chill for 3 hours or overnight.
Once chilled , transfer polenta to a board.
Using a 5cm round cutter , cut into 18 rounds.
Preheat char-grill or barbecue on high.
Grease lightly with oil.
Char-grill rounds for 3-4 minutes each side , until polenta is crisp and browned.
Meanwhile , to make the salsa , combine all the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and season to taste.
Serve polenta topped with avocado salsa.
