I need more polenta in my life. I took the night off from creating recipes for my cookbook and made this wonderful polenta pizza. It's easy to make and very healthy. It's delicate, so you'll need to eat it with a fork but a great way to clean out the fridge!
Recipe:Polenta Pizza
Description
This pizza is very delicate, so you'll need it with a fork, but it's a great way to use up all your leftover veggies! Cleaning out the fridge has never been so easy or fun! Pizza sauce may be substituted for the marinara.
Ingredients
1½ cups water
1½ cups nondairy milk
¾ cups cornmeal
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup marinara sauce
2 cups mixed vegetables
Instructions
Grease a 13x 9 casserole dish and set aside. Whisk the water, non-dairy milk, cornmeal, salt, and seasoning in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook, constantly stirring, until it becomes thick, like a heavy oatmeal. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish, spreading out evenly and patting down firmly but gently using a spatula. Cover and refrigerate until it sets, about an hour. Preheat oven to 450 F. Remove covering and bake polenta completely uncovered for 25 minutes. Remove and add a thin layer of sauce and your toppings. Careful not to use too much sauce or it will be soggy. Bake another 10-15 minutes, until vegetables are cooked but still crisp and polenta is crisp along the edges. Serve immediately.
