3 c water
3/4 c yellow cornmeal

1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tsp basil, dried
1/2 tsp oregano, dried
1 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
1/2 c tomato paste, italian (mixed with)
2 Tbsp water
1/2 c red bell pepper (sliced) about 1/2 of a medium red bell pepper
1/2 c green bell pepper(sliced)about 1/2 of a medium green bell pepper
1/4 c red onion(sliced)about 1/2 small red onion
1/8 c mushrooms, fresh(sliced) about 8
3-4 links of vegan sausages(sliced)
2 Tbsp black olives(sliced)
3 clove galic(sliced very finely)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 425
  • 2. spray two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans with nonfat cooking spray
  • 3. Line the bottoms of each pan with circles of parchment paper
  • 4. To make polenta, put the water, cornmeal, salt, and seasonings into a large microwavable casserole dish or 1-quart measure.
  • 5. Cook at full power for 4 minutes
  • 6. Stir well and cook again at high power for 2 more minutes
  • 7. Stir again and cook at high power for another 2 minutes.
  • 8. Remove from the microwave, stir in the olive oil, and beat with a spoon until completely smooth
  • 9. Spread the polenta evenly in the bottom of the two pans
  • 10. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 12 minutes
  • 11. While the crust is cooking, prepare your toppings
  • 12. Sauté the vegetables lightly in a non-stick pan until onion begins to soften
  • 13. After 12 minutes, take the crusts out of the oven and invert them onto a large baking sheet, side by side.
  • 14. They should fall right out of the pan with the parchment paper stuck to them. Peel away the parchment.
  • 15. Spread each crust with pizza sauce (don't use too much or they will be soggy) and top with veggies and vegan sausage
  • 16. Sprinkle with chopped garlic.
  • 17. Return to the oven for about 10 minutes, until toppings look done.
  • 18. Lift off the baking sheet carefully using a large spatula and your hand--they are not sturdy like regular pizza, so be careful not to let your toppings slide off.
  • 19. Cut into fourths and serve..Enjoy
