Time 1h

Yield MAKES 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 vegetable stock pots or cubes
500g instant polenta
olive oil , for drizzling, plus extra for the tray
250g pizza sauce
200g vegan cheese , finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
optional toppings (for example, chopped pepper, sweetcorn, olives or mushrooms)

Steps:

  • Bring 1½ litres water to the boil and add the stock pots and ½ tsp salt. Pour in the polenta, whisking continuously, bring to the boil and reduce the heat to low, then stir every minute to keep it from sticking, for about 8 mins (or according to pack instructions).
  • Meanwhile, oil a non-stick baking tray (ours was 30 x 40cm). Spoon the cooked polenta into the tray and level with a spoon to make a large, flat slab that fills the whole tray (about 1cm thick). You can use wet palms to press it down firmly after a few minutes. Leave to cool and set firm for at least 1 hr.
  • Turn out the polenta onto your work surface and cut into strips. Halve the strips on the diagonal to make little wedges and put back on the tray. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Top each polenta base with 1 tsp pizza sauce, a little vegan cheese and a sprinkle of oregano. Add extra toppings, if you like. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 mins. Serve warm or cold.

AIR FRYER POLENTA PIZZA BITES



Air Fryer Polenta Pizza Bites image

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and gooey melty cheese on top. If Italian herb polenta is not available, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the rounds after brushing with EVOO. I like these as they are but feel free to dip in pizza or marinara sauce for that extra pizza kick. Garnish with parsley if desired.

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.
