Charred Veg With Tarragon & Gruyère Polenta

Charred Veg With Tarragon & Gruyère Polenta

I found some Isle Of Wight tomatoes which were super sweet and very delicious charred. The tarragon is simple but effective and goes very well with asparagus. This dinner can be on the table in under 25 minutes and is so tasty. Make sure you find the quick cook polenta other it won’t be so speedy. Enjoy!
