Ingredients

1 Sumo Citrus
1 pre-made polenta roll
¼ cup flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup soft herbed cheese or cream cheese
2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Zest the Sumo Citrus.
Cut about ¼ inch from the top and bottom of the Sumo Citrus so they sit flat. Position the fruit with one of the flat sides down and use a sharp knife to cut in a downward motion, slicing the peel.
Position the fruit on its side and, with a sharp paring knife, cut the fruit into sections following the natural separations. Cut these sections into smaller pieces.
Slice the polenta roll into 12 pieces and dip into the flour.
Add the oil to a pan and bring the heat to medium high.
Add the polenta slices and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Place the polenta slices on a serving platter and top with the herbed cheese, Sumo Citrus zest and 2 or 3 of the small citrus segments.
Add a couple of mint leaves for garnish.
