Method

Step 1 of 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy deep-sided frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and sweat gently for about 5 minutes until soft.

Step 2 of 4

Sprinkle in the oregano and chilli flakes, then tip in the tomatoes, including any juices. Simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3 of 4

Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Cooking in batches, fry the polenta slices for about 5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a spatula or fish slice, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm. Repeat until all the polenta has been cooked.

Step 4 of 4

To serve, divide the warm crispy polenta among 2 serving plates, and top with the spicy tomato sauce. Serve with a wild rocket salad.
