Zubereitung von Mexican Polenta Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the ground turkey, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until the turkey is no longer pink (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in the kidney beans, undrained diced tomatoes, and salsa. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- While the turkey mixture simmers, grease a 3-quart rectangular baking dish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Cut the pre-cooked polenta into 1/2-inch cubes. Press half of the polenta cubes evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Halve the remaining polenta lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Set aside.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the polenta in the dish.
- Top with the meat mixture.
- Arrange the sliced polenta over the meat.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese and the chopped fresh tomato.
- Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
- Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
- Let stand for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the polenta to set slightly.
- Makes 12 servings.
