Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup dry polenta
2 ¼ cups water
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup thinly sliced onion
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
½ cup marinara sauce
10 slices reduced fat pepperoni
⅓ cup diced tomato
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place the polenta, water and salt in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, until thick. Pour into a pie plate or shallow baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, and cook, stirring until onion is soft. Set aside.
  • Spread the marinara sauce over the chilled polenta 'crust'. Top with the onion and pepper mixture, pepperoni, tomato and oregano. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle cheese over the top, and continue to bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese is melted. Cut into 6 wedges, and serve hot.

The polenta crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more liquid next time.

This pizza was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. Next time, I'll use less pepperoni.

I love that this recipe uses polenta instead of traditional pizza dough. It's a great way to get more whole grains into my diet.

I was skeptical about the polenta crust, but it turned out to be delicious. It was crispy and held up well to the toppings.
