Hearty Herbed Veggie Topped Polenta


I found this recipe at mayoclinic.com and tweaked it a bit by adding my choice of herbs and seasonings, which adds a lot of zing to this otherwise ordinary recipe. This makes a very hearty dish and serves as a meal, accompanied with fruit juice or salad.

Steps


Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Spray a small ovenproof dish with cooking spray.
Combine the polenta , water , garlic , and salt in the dish.
Ensure that there are no lumps.
Bake uncovered for about 60 minutes.
In the meantime , steam the desired vegetables.
When polenta is done , top with 1 cup of vegetables.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese , season with herbs and spices , and serve hot.
