Comment préparer Baked Feta And Tomato Polenta Make Ahead Casserole
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 2-2.5 quart shallow baking dish.
- **Make the Tomato Filling:** Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté until softened and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, season generously with salt and pepper, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped, and remove from heat.
- **Prepare the Polenta:** In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups vegetable broth to a boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup polenta (coarse ground cornmeal) and 1 cup cold water until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the cornmeal mixture into the boiling broth. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk constantly until the polenta thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Pour half of the polenta into the prepared baking dish. Spread the tomato mixture evenly over the polenta.
- Crumble 8 ounces feta cheese over the tomato layer. Pour the remaining polenta over the feta, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and dot with 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces.
- Let the casserole rest for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours, covered and refrigerated). Bring to room temperature before baking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown, bubbly, and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
