Minger Royal Pizza
Olive oil/nonstick cooking oil spray
1 1/4 cups Polenta
1/4 cup wholemeal flour 1/3 cup buttermilk 1 cup boiling water 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
large pinch black pepper
1/3 tspn onion powder 1/4 cup grated Parmesan ( optional for me)
1/2 tspn Italian Seasoning (with rosemary and sage added if not already in)
1/4 tspn lemon zest (or less)
Spray a 8-10 inch pie pan with oil spray. Preheat the oven to 375.
Place Polenta and other ingredients - but not cheese - into a small bowl.
Add cold water and stir til mixed.
Gently pour and stir mixture into saucepan of boiling water. Reduce heat to low, simmer, keep stirring over low heat until thick, for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and then stir in Parmesan.
Spread mixture to form a crust in the oiled (and floured (I bother)) pan,
using hands or a spatula. Spread evenly across bottom and up sides. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes.
Toppings can consist of gently grilled (brushed with olive oil) green and yellow peppers , courgette, mushrooms (maybe added to a half tin of ratatouille with garlic) Add sweetcorn and black olives too. Sprinkle a little Parmesan on top (for a saltier flavour, sprinkle with a little bacon flavour 'salad sprinkles') Top with fresh coriander leaves.
