polenta pizza

amazing, simple, satisfying and infinitely customisable!

base

1c polenta

4-5c water, boiling in medium saucepan

1tsp salt

3Tbs dry herbs of choice (thyme and rosemary are lovely)

ground pepper

add the salt to the gently boiling water. slowly pour the polenta into the water, stirring with a long-handled wooden spoon (to avoid the hot polenta bubbles burning you!). keep heat on low and continue to stir until polenta is cooked (about 30 minutes, but taste as you go).

when cooked, stir in herbs and pepper. grease a baking tray with olive oil, and spread hot polenta in a 1-2cm thick layer on the whole tray. allow to cool or refrigerate.

cover with tomato sauce and pizza toppings of choice; zucchini slices, marinated spicy eggplant, olives, capers, sundried tomato, fresh basil and grated carrot are the best!
