- Melt the butter and cream cheese in a heavy bottomed pan, add the tapenade and polenta and 750ml boiling water, stir constantly whilst adding salt to taste and once the mix has thickened add the parmesan and some pepper if desired. To serve, spoon a portion of polenta onto the plate before adding a pork chop and dressing with some of the roasted cherry tomatoes.
