You're building a rich, cozy dinner with three components that come together beautifully: creamy Parmesan polenta, roasted cherry tomatoes, and crispy fried halloumi. The polenta thickens fast and needs to be served right away, while the tomatoes get a slow roast to bring out their sweetness, so timing is key to getting everything ready at once.

Roast the tomatoes
Season the cherry tomatoes with salt, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, add chopped basil, and roast in the oven at 160Β°C for 30 minutes.

Make the polenta
Bring the water to a boil, then gradually whisk in the polenta. It thickens very quickly and soaks up a lot of water, so serve it as soon as it's cooked. If reheating, stir in a bit more water and cream.
