POLENTA PIZZA BITES
After school, my girls are super-hungry, so I steer them toward a savory snack. These polenta mini-pizzas are a treat that I feel great about giving them. And, I can tailor them according to their tastes (and what I happen to have in the pantry)!

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high. Brush the polenta with the olive oil on both sides and place the disks on a broiler pan covered with foil. Broil until the tops begin to turn golden, about 1 minute (watch closely as broiler heat varies).
- Flip the polenta disks over and spread about 1 tablespoon of the marinara sauce on each one, then top with cheese and other toppings (if using). Broil until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 1 more minute. Let cool a few minutes and serve.
POLENTA 'PIZZA' WITH PANCETTA AND SPINACH
Everything is fair game at breakfast - and long has been, of course - but to most Americans it doesn't seem appropriate to start making what amounts to dinner at 7 in the morning. This pizza could be considered dinner or lunch fare, but it makes a hearty first meal of the day.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees; brush a layer of olive oil on a pizza pan or cookie sheet. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine milk with 2 1/2 cups water and a large pinch of salt. Bring just about to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and add cornmeal in a steady stream, whisking all the while to prevent lumps from forming. Turn heat to low and simmer, whisking frequently, until thick, 10 or 15 minutes. If mixture becomes too thick, whisk in a bit more water; you want a consistency approaching thick oatmeal.
- Stir 1 tablespoon oil into cooked cornmeal (polenta). Spoon it onto prepared pan, working quickly so polenta does not stiffen; spread it evenly to a thickness of about 1/2 inch all over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, cover baking sheet with plastic wrap and put it in refrigerator until it is firm, an hour or more (you can refrigerate polenta overnight if you prefer).
- Put polenta in oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it begins to brown and crisp on edges. Meanwhile, put two tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and pancetta is nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to take onion and pancetta out of pan; set aside. Add spinach to skillet and sauté until it releases its water and pan becomes dry; sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper.
- Take polenta out of oven, sprinkle with Gorgonzola, then spread onion-pancetta mixture and spinach evenly on top of cheese; drizzle with another tablespoon olive oil. Put pizza back in oven for two minutes, or until cheese begins to melt and pancetta and vegetables are warmed through. Cut into slices and serve hot or at room temperature.

POLENTA CAPRESE PIZZA
Steps:
- Lightly coat a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. In a large pot, bring milk, 3 cups water and salt to boil over high heat. Whisk in cornmeal in a gentle stream and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring often, until polenta is thick and no longer gritty, about 20 minutes. Working quickly, pour polenta into prepared pan, spreading evenly to the edges. Let stand 10 minutes; cover with plastic wrap and press polenta along sides of pan to form edges of crust. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 450°. Bake chilled crust until it begins to brown at edges, 45 minutes to an hour. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan. Sauté shallots and garlic over medium-high heat until soft, 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 5 minutes. Mash with the back of a spoon and cook until thickened, 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce onto the crust, top with cheese and bake until cheese is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Top with basil and cut into squares.
POLENTA PIZZA PIE
This polenta-based "pizza pie" is a fresh, delicious mash-up of a casserole and a pizza. It's a fun take on a classic party dish. The polenta crust needs to chill for an hour in the refrigerator, but can be prepared a couple of days in advance. From Forks Over Knives Family

Steps:
- To prepare the crust, line the sides of two 8-inch round baking pans with strips of parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, combine 8 cups water with the cumin; bring to a boil. Add the polenta in a slow stream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the flaxseed, turmeric (if using), and salt to taste. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until the polenta has absorbed all the water and reached a spreadable consistency.
- Divide the polenta evenly between the two prepared pans. Keeping the parchment paper in place, spread the polenta in the pans, making the edges a bit higher than the center. Let cool to room temperature, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The crust can be prepared a couple of days in advance; if refrigerating for more than an hour, cover in plastic wrap.
- While the crust chills, prepare the sauce: Place the tomatoes, onions, garlic, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and black pepper in a large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes. Add the tomato paste, vinegar, and salt to taste. Cook, uncovered, until the sauce thickens and the water evaporates, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
- To prepare the topping, cook the mushrooms in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and the liquid they release is almost completely evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Remove the polenta crusts from the refrigerator, and let them stand for 20 minutes to bring them to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a saucepan, cook the bell peppers over medium heat until softened and the liquid they release has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Add the nutritional yeast, and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a small plate to cool. Just before use, mix in the chopped basil.
- Spread half the pizza sauce on each crust. Spread the mushrooms and zucchini evenly on top. Sprinkle with the bell pepper and basil mixture. Bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Slice and serve hot. For extra cheesy flavor, sprinkle nutritional yeast on top.

Steps:
- Add 8 cups water, the oil and salt to a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.

- Meanwhile, place a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Drizzle with olive oil and evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of the Parmesan evenly over the bottom of the pan and allow to toast until golden brown and nutty, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Pour the polenta over the Parmesan crust and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan. Set at room temperature until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. (At this point, the polenta can be refrigerated up to overnight.)
- When ready to serve, place the pan back over medium heat to warm the cheese. Place a large plate or serving platter over the surface and invert the polenta onto the plate. Serve topped with your favorite sauce.
