While the polenta is still soft place each serve onto a piece of glad wrap and flatten slightly.
Put the goat's cheese into the centre and draw the glad wrap up and around to make burger shape polenta and twist. The cheese should be sealed in the centre.

Tips/Hints:
I made this quite some time ago but I think I have got it fairly correct. It is an adaption of a similar recipe from BBC Good Food.
It seems complicated but it's not.

I was really pleased with it too , thanks. I had to check that it was actually my plates it was sitting on. This doesn't need 'plating up' as it looks so good naturally. Not that I plate up-by the time I serve it gets thrown onto the plate and thrown down throats and then gently thrown into the sink and washed.
