Yellow Polenta Sushi with Peppers

A playful fusion between East and West.

Prep time 40 min
Difficulty 2/5

Ingredients

  • 1 x 500 g block of Castello Yellow or White Polenta Casereccia
  • 150 g of red pepper cream (jarred)
  • 100 g of tuna fillets in oil
  • 60 g of hard cheese (such as Asiago or Grana), cut into sticks
  • Fresh or dried rosemary to taste

Information

Method: Cut the polenta block in half, then into regular 3×3 cm cubes. Heat in an air fryer or conventional oven until lightly crisp. In a bowl, mix the pepper cream with flaked tuna. Arrange the polenta cubes neatly and top each with a spoonful of pepper cream and tuna. Using fine kitchen tweezers, place thin strips of cheese crosswise on top. Finish with a sprinkle of dried rosemary.

Chef’s Tip: For a more realistic “sushi” effect, use white polenta and serve with a few drops of balsamic reduction to recall soy sauce visually while adding a balanced sweet-and-sour note.
