Polenta: It's Whats For Dinner!


It's great when you try something new and it just works! Just came up with this dish that has a polenta/yellow cornmeal base and it is so tasty. It has a nice rose-creme like sauce which is a refreshing feature in a vegan dish!

Serves 2

In a saucepan on the stove (medium heat):

1/2 cup cornmeal/polenta
2 cups water

add desired amount of chives, thyme, basil, parsley, oregano or 1 drop of oregano oil (add spices as desired such as chili, salt and pepper or any fresh herb such as cilantro!)

In a frying pan on the stove (high heat):

2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 can beans or chick peas
1/4 cup vegan cheese, grated (mozzerella or cheddar style)
1 yellow pepper, cut into strips
1/4 cup tomato sauce

garnish the dish with halved cherry tomatoes and a generous helping of cut up fresh green sprouts!

You may choose to serve this meal as two seperate parts or mix all of the ingredients together at the end et

fin.
