Polenta Pizza

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

polenta (make using cornmeal, water, etc.)
veggies like mushrooms, onions, zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, tomatoes, etc.
vegan soy cheese, grated
splash of olive oil
tomato sauce
oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
1 or more cloves of garlic, crushed or minced

Directions:

I made this up once day so don't have exact measures but its too easy to mess up anyway.. and you can make as much as you wish according to how many mouths need feeding. experiment according to your own tastes!

Prepare polenta howe'ver you like it. I like adding olive oil and garlic to it for extra tasty polenta! spread polenta mixture on sheet (or sheets if you're making more servings) of waxed paper or foil and allow to cool until firm. You can pop it in the fridge for quicker cooling if you wish.

Sauté whichever veggies you choose (except for tomatoes if you use them) in a frying pan with garlic, oregano, and a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. be sure not to overcook the veggies!

Place polenta on lightly greased baking sheet. spread a bit of tomato sauce over cooled polenta. Spread veggies over top. If you use tomatoes, place a few sliced tomatoes on top of veggies. sprinkle grated soy cheese over top.

Put in preheated oven at about 350 degrees F until cheese is melted. slice and dive in! Note that this needs to be eaten with a knife and fork (a la gourmet style) because polenta is too soft (even when firm) to pick up and eat with your hands!

This was excellent! My non-veg. husband loved it! I poured the polenta onto a baking sheet into a round shape. Then I sprinkled some parm. cheese on it (or you could use soy cheese) and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes. It really firms the polenta. Then I added my toppings and put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so. It was delicious!
