- Heat oil in a frying pan and cook polenta for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown.
- To make the sauce, in a saucepan, heat olive oil add onion and cook for 5-10 minutes, add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, add vinegar, honey, sultanas and pine nuts, and stir until honey dissolves and sauce is thick. Add pinch of salt, stir and take off the heat.
- Serve polenta with a spoonful of agrodolce sauce, chopped parsley and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
