6 1/2 ounces fish canned bonito, in olive oil
1/3 onion peeled and chopped
5 1/8 tablespoons cream cheese

Directions

1

In a saucepan heat the vegetable broth, milk, butter, basil, polenta, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and continue to cook on medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes while stirring. Pour into a baking pan and press down to flatten the surface. Let it cool.
2

Once cool, unmold and cut into small squares.
3

In a saucepan, heat olive oil and fry the polenta squares for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. The texture should be crispy on the outside and soft in the inside.
4

Pat the polenta squares with paper towel to remove the excess oil.
5

Drain the fish and place in a bowl. Add the onion and cream cheese. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and basil.
