Polenta pizza
(at time of publication)
Instructions
Step 1 Place water and salt in a heavy-based pan and bring to the boil. Gradually pour in polenta, whisking continuously to prevent lumps forming and to keep mixture smooth.
Step 2 Reduce heat and cook, stirring all the while, for 6-7 minutes until thick and creamy. Stir in oil and parmesan. Season with pepper. Cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3 Spoon polenta onto greaseproof paper. Spread into a round using a damp knife. Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes until firm.
Step 4 Add capsicum, onion and tomatoes. Spray with a little oil and cook for 15 more minutes. Serve topped with rocket.
Variations
To add extra flavour, replace the water with a vegetable stock or a mix of water and stock.
HFG Tip
If polenta becomes lumpy during cooking, process in a blender until smooth then return to pan and continue to cook.
