Why I Love This Recipe
Polenta has its origins in Northern Italy and was historically used as a staple for farmers, showcasing its humble beginnings before gaining popularity worldwide.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup polenta (or cornmeal)
4 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 zucchini, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded vegan cheese
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Directions
Start by preparing the polenta. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of vegetable stock to a boil.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of polenta, reducing the heat to low. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until thickened.
While the polenta is cooking, prepare the vegetable topping. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced zucchini and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes.
Toss in the halved cherry tomatoes, season with 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Sauté for another 3 minutes.
Once the polenta is cooked, stir in 1/2 cup of shredded vegan cheese until melted and incorporated.
Spoon the polenta into bowls, top with the sautéed vegetables, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm and enjoy!
