POLENTA PIZZA
Polenta is coarsely ground cornmeal. It can be used in dozens of recipes
from appetizers to dinner. Try a different breakfast by topping a warm
bowl of polenta with a little honey or maple syrup and a sprinkle of
fresh ground flax seed. It can also be cubed and added to a nice green
salad, soaking up a little of your fabulous salad dressing.
1 ½ Cup Polenta
4 ½ Cups Water
2 Tbs. Mock chicken broth powder
2 Tbs. Dried basil
1 Tbs. Dried oregano
5 Pieces sundried tomatoes
1 Bottle Spaghetti Sauce of choice
1 Zuccini, slice thin
1 Bell pepper, slice thin
Dairy or non-dairy cheese, or nutritional yeast if you are trying to
cut down on fat
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees about 5 minutes before Polenta is fully
cooked.
2. Cook the polenta by adding the first five ingredients in a sauce
pan. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer. Total cooking time is
approximately 15 minutes. Polenta will pull away from the sides of the
pan when it is done.
3. Pour mixture in a lightly oiled pizza pan or a pan of choice. Spread
polenta evenly in the pan and pour sauce on top. Arrange thinly sliced
veggies and top with cheese. If using nutritional yeast, add after pizza
is baked.
4. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
5. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Must cool so the
polenta will firm.
