Description

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 small red pepper, diced
• 1 small green pepper, diced
• ½ yellow onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can whole San Marzano tomatoes, slightly drained
• 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence or dried oregano
• 1 large handful baby spinach leaves
• Optional toppings: fresh parsley, sliced black olives, any other pizza toppings you desire!
• 3 cups water
• 1 cup corn grits
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon Earth Balance, or butter (optional)
• 1 - 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)

Directions

• Add 3 cups of water to a medium sized pot and bring to a boil. While water is coming to a boil, heat a large pot over medium heat and add olive oil, red pepper, green pepper, onion, salt, pepper and herbs de Provence. Cook vegetables until tender, 3-5 minutes. Next add the garlic and cook for another minute. Using your hands, carefully squeeze the tomatoes into the pot and then add a little bit of the leftover liquid, depending on how thick you want your sauce to be. Bring sauce to a simmer and stir occasionally.
• While sauce is simmering, make the polenta. Add the corn grits and salt to the boiling water. Reduce heat and cook for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently. Once polenta has thickened, whisk in the butter and nutritional yeast and set aside.
• Turn off the heat for the tomato sauce and stir in the spinach. Divide the polenta into 4 bowls top evenly with the tomato sauce. Top with fresh parsley and black olives if desired, or your favorite pizza toppings.
