Polenta “French Toast” Rounds with Quick Berry Compote

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Cooking spray
• 1 tube Ancient Harvest™ ready-to-eat polenta, Traditional variety
• Approximately 1⁄3 cup quinoa flour
• Optional: maple syrup and powdered sugar, to serve

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare the compote: place fruit, juice, lemon zest, honey, and cinnamon in a small saucepan and bring to bubbling over medium heat. Break up fruit slightly with a spoon or masher. Reduce heat and let simmer while preparing polenta, approximately 10 minutes.

2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

3. Place quinoa flour in a bowl and coat polenta rounds before adding to skillet. Cook rounds until golden brown and lightly crisped, approximately 2 minutes per side. Spray lightly with cooking spray as needed to keep rounds from sticking to the pan. Serve with compote and additional toppings as desired.
