RECIPE: Baked Polenta with Tomatoes

INGREDIENTS:
4 cups vegetable broth
1 1/4 cups polenta (course ground cornmeal)
1 tablespoon sage, rubbed
1/2 teaspoon (or to taste) salt, Kosher
1/4 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground (or to taste)
3 tomatoes, beefsteak (sliced, 1/4 inch thick)
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Cooking spray

INSTRUCTIONS:
1: Spray a 9 x 13 pan and a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Set them aside.
2: In a large saucepan bring the vegetable broth to a boil.
3: Reduce the heat to medium low. Gradually stir in the polenta while constantly stirring.
4: After the polenta is stirred in, mix in the sage, salt and pepper while continuing to stir.
5: Continue to stir until the mixture becomes thick and pulls away from the pan (about 5 minutes).
6: Spread the mixture evenly into the 9 x 13 pan and leave it to cool.
7: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
8: When the polenta is cooled, cut into 16 squares (or to desired size).
9: Lay the polenta squares flat on the baking sheet.
10: Lay a tomato slice over each polenta square and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
11: Bake for about 25 minutes or until the cheese and polenta start to brown. Serve.

NOTES:
You can use 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of ground sage or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped sage in place of the rubbed sage.

Beefsteak tomatoes are large, juicy and firm. There are many varieties to choose from.

I use a whisk to stir in the polenta to help avoid lumps.

Do not use instant polenta or cornmeal.

This baked polenta is a delicious side dish. It is also yummy covered with beans and/or tomato sauce.
