No Crust Cornmeal/Polenta Vegetable Pie image

Not exactly a pie . . . but looks like one once served, and is much lower in fat and much easier to make! Serve with ketchup - it's the magic ingredient to make the flavours come alive. (I imagine other vegetables would work just as well, or spices too. Please share your experiments!) I follow the directions for preparing cornmeal found on the back of the bag. I use CLIC brand, Polenta #250. I see some types of cornmeal may need to be prepared differently.
