Categories     Dinner

Time 1h42m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Water- 4 cups.
Salt- 1 teaspoon.
Polenta - 1 cup
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon.
Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings
Pizza Sauce- 1/2 to 1 cup. Can omit if desired.
Vegetables (chopped or cut up, 2 cups total. This can include mushrooms, red peppers, garlic, zucchini, and/or onions.)
Cheese or tofu - 1/2 to 1 cup or as desired.
Pizza Seasonings as desired.

Steps:

  • Start by making the polenta. In a skillet or saucepan on medium to high heat, bring the water and salt to a boil. Then add the polenta, cook for a minute and then turn the heat down to low. Important: use a whisk to constantly mix the cooking ingredients to avoid sticking.
  • Once the polenta has somewhat thickened you can cover it and allow it to continue to cook for another 25-30 minutes or until the polenta has become thick and creamy, continuing to whisk as needed.
  • While the polenta cooks you can prepare the baking sheet or pizza pan. Prep this sheet or pan with some Parchment Paper that is sprinkled with the additional polenta (about 1 tablespoon should be needed for this).
  • Remove the polenta from the stove and stir in any additional seasonings. Then you can transfer the polenta to the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. The crust should be 1/3-1/2" thick.
  • Cover the crust with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to a day. The crust should be firm when removed from the refrigerator.
  • When you are ready to make your pizza, remove the pizza crust from the refrigerator. Also, remove the plastic wrap. Preheat your oven to 450. Sprinkle the olive oil over the crust and bake it for 10-12 minutes or until it begins to become crisp and brown around the edges.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and top with your desired toppings.
  • Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake until done, about 12-15 minutes.

POLENTA MINI PIZZAS



Polenta Mini Pizzas image

This is a tasty snack or lunch that I came up with after reading the suggestion on the back of a polenta tube. This is how I made it, but you could also use mozzarella in place of the ricotta, add some pepperoni, etc. These would also make really cute appetizers.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 10m

Yield 6 mini pizzas, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces prepared polenta (in a chub or tube)
6 tablespoons pasta sauce
6 tablespoons low-fat ricotta cheese
6 teaspoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 leaves fresh basil
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Heat olive oil on griddle or in frying pan on medium/medium high.
  • Slice polenta into six 1/2 inch rounds.
  • Fry polenta according to package directions. If there are no directions for frying, fry 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove from griddle/pan, and place on a baking sheet. Prepare each slice like you would a pizza, layering 1 tablespoon pasta sauce, a basil leaf, 1 tablespoon ricotta, then 1 teaspoon parmesan. Broil 2-4 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Note: Be careful when removing from the oven, especially if you're using a flat baking sheet. The polenta likes to slide around! Serve.

POLENTA PIZZA WITH MUSHROOMS

Provided by Sara Ann Friedman

Categories     dinner, appetizer, main course

Time 2h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pound assorted fresh white and brown mushrooms, cleaned with a damp paper towel
1 cup crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon mushroom powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon each salt and dried oregano and basil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
6 to 8 ounces freshly grated Gruyere, Emmenthaler or Mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare the polenta base. Bring three and one-half cups of water to a boil in a deep saucepan. In a mixing bowl, combine one cup of cold water with the cornmeal and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is a thick paste. Whisk the paste into the boiling water and simmer, stirring constantly for 15 to 20 minutes or until the mixture is very thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and add the butter and Parmesan cheese.
  • Pour the polenta into an oiled 12-inch round pan and flatten into a circle. Cool at room temperature for at least one hour or until the top feels dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush the polenta with one tablespoon of oil and bake for 20 minutes. (If it puffs, prick it with a fork.)
  • In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in two tablespoons of oil until the onion is translucent. Add the mushrooms, raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly until all the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms begin to brown. Add the tomatoes, mushroom powder, herbs, salt and pepper, turn the heat down to low and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the parsley.
  • Spoon the topping onto the polenta and sprinkle with the grated Gruyere, Emmenthaler or Mozzarella cheese. Bake for five to seven minutes or until the cheese has melted and the topping bubbles. Cut into wedges and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.
