Polenta Rounds with Onion, Pepper, Tomato and Cheese




· 1 – 1 lb. tube of Basil & Garlic Polenta
· 1 small onion, cut into thin strips
· 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
· 2 teaspoons minced garlic
· 1 large tomato, chopped
· 1 cup shredded mozzarella flavored rice or soy cheese (or regular shredded mozzarella)
· Salt & Pepper, to taste
· Olive oil
· Vegetable oil spray

In a large skillet, over medium heat, sauté the onion, garlic and pepper in olive oil until softened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Add tomato and let simmer, about 2 more minutes. Set aside.

Preheat Broiler to High.

Slice the polenta into 16 slices and place on a baking sheet coated with vegetable oil spray. Broil on high for 5 minutes. Take out and turn each slice and broil another 5 minutes.

Turn the polenta over again and cover each slice with a tablespoon of the veggie mix and shredded cheese. Put back under the broiler and cook another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.

Serves 2 – 4.
