Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease an 11 by 17-inch baking sheet pan with oil. Line pan with waxed paper. The oil will secure the waxed paper onto the pan.
- In a large pot bring to a boil 2 quarts of salted water. Stir in extra-virgin olive oil. When water has reached a boil, reduce heat to medium high and slowly add the polenta, whisking constantly for 3 minutes. When polenta is thick and smooth, pour it into the prepared pan. Spread the polenta evenly.
- Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan. Note: the polenta will not brown or change in color. When cool enough to handle, cut into any shape you desire. I like to cut out 2-inch circles.
BAKED POLENTA AND ROASTED VEGETABLES
I love recipes to get ideas on how flavors go together. Much to my family's dismay, I hardly ever follow them. I saw something like this in our local paper but didn't want mushy polenta. I always have a fridge full of leftovers and this was created with what I had on hand. It has a few short cuts- like buying pre-made polenta but you can make your own. Experiment with other veggies, cheeses, spices... Enjoy! I salted the eggplant then reconstituted the polenta and put it in the oven before prepping the rest of the veggies. This give the eggplant time to weep and to bake the polenta. And to have a glass of wine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- POLENTA:.
- cut up the polenta and put it in pot on the stove with the milk (or water) over medium to re-constitute into mush. The polenta should return to a mush-like consistency- you can use a potato masher to help it. Mix in a 1/2 cup of parmesan. Spread the polenta on a buttered 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
- VEGGIES:.
- Salt the eggplant on both sides and let sit for 20 minutes on paper towels, then wipe the salt off and cube the eggplant.
- Put the zucchini, mushrooms, onion and eggplant in a large bowl and mix with salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until the veggies are al dente.
- FINISHING.
- Drizzle the spaghetti sauce on top of the polenta.
- Spread the roasted veggies on top of the drizzled polenta.
- Sprinkle the parmesan and mozzarella on top of the veggies.
- Place under the broiler to melt the cheese- serve!

ROASTED POLENTA WITH GARDEN VEGETABLES
Steps:
- Make the Polenta: Bring the chicken stock, butter, pepper, and salt to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot. While whisking the hot stock in a quick circular motion, "rain" in the polenta by letting it stream through your fingers. (This will prevent lumping.)
- Reduce the polenta to a gentle simmer; it must be stirred constantly for 25 to 35 minutes to prevent lumps or scorching. Be very careful when stirring, the mixture is very hot (think lava) and can burn you if it boils and sputters. If it begins to boil cover the pot and reduce the heat until boiling stops!
- The polenta is cooked when it is no longer grainy and has become creamy. (My grandmother says good polenta takes 30 minutes, great polenta takes 1 hour).
- Stir in the Parmesan and basil and pour onto a buttered sheet pan to cool. When cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut the polenta into any shape you desire that's structurally sound. In other words, a shape that won't fall apart on the grill easily, or be difficult to remove from the sheet pan after roasting. Squares, triangles, stars etc.
- Make the Marinade and Vegetables: Whisk together the vinegar and garlic. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the vegetables with the marinade.
- When ready to serve, preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
- Brush the polenta lightly on both sides with olive oil and grill, turning once, until the edges are brown and crispy.
- At the same time grill the vegetables until they are tender but still firm.
- Pile the vegetables on top of the polenta, then stand back and wait for the applause!
