Crispy, golden, pan-fried polenta topped with cheesy and savory zucchini in under an hour? You'll make this quicker than you can get takeout and it'll satisfy that cheesy comfort food craving too.
Coat a saute pan in olive oil
Slice the polenta about a 1/4" thick
Follow the polenta instructions or fry until crispy, flipping halfway through so it doesn't stick.
Add 4 slices to each plate you are preparing
Add olive oil to the same pan
Grate the zucchini in the food processor with a shredder attachment, or a cheese grater/shredder
Add the grated zucchini to the pan
Once the zucchini is soft, add the pad (1 tbsp) of butter
Add the garlic
Add the spices you enjoy: rosemary, oregano, parsley, sage
Plate the Zucchini (either on top of all 4 or over each polenta cake)
In the same pan, grill up the fajita strips or sausage and plate on top of the zucchini
Enjoy!
This is a meal you could make in advance and then bake to reheat. It's also great when you have leftover ground beef, fajita strips, or sausage from the night before.
