    Strongly beat down the oil. Fold in tomatoes, olives and herbs.

    Finely grate the cheese. Stir half the cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter into the polenta. Season to taste. Spread into a greased ovenproof dish (e.g. tart dish, approx. 24 cm Ø, or a flat casserole dish).

    Spread 4 tablespoons of tomato and olive salsa on top. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Bake the tart in a preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: level 3) for 10-15 minutes. Serve with the rest of the salsa.
