INSTRUCTIONS
I have this recipe from Gourmet Grains, Beans and Rice for Polenta Crust I
have tried it and it can be a finger food. It is firm. Polenta is made of
cornmeal. Here it is:
Spray a 9 inch pie pan with nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 375. Place
cornmeal in a small bowl. Add cold water and stir until well mixed. Stir
cornmeal mixture into saucepan of boiling water. Cook, stirring over low
heat until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir salt and
Parmesan.
Spread cornmeal mixture to form a crust in the greased pan, using wet hands
or a spatula. Spread evenly across bottom and up sides. Bake uncovered for
30 miutes.
I make this crust on a rather large square pan and do not shape into a pie,
I, then cut into squares.
Toppings can consist of sauteed green and yellow peppers , mushrooms , etc.
