Polenta Croutons/Pizza/bruschetta

  To make polenta:

    put 2 cups of polenta in a big pot over medium heat and slowly add 4 cups of water as you stir. When the polenta begins to thicken and pulls away from the pan it is  cooked. Add little more poltenta to make it a thick mixture.

-        you can fry up some onion, garlic and herbs and toss them in with the polenta and pour it into a greased baking dish.

-        after the polenta has baked in the oven for about 20 mins, you can add any toppings you like.  For example, Sundried tomatoes, olives and feta are a great combination either on top or mixed into the polenta before baking.  

-       Other topping ideas: cheeses (parmesan, mozzarella, gorgonzola), tomato slices, fried onions, capers, and chopped herbs (parsley, oregano, basil).  If you use lots of chopped tomato,herbs, oil and garlic, it will be more of a bruschetta.
