How to Make Polenta Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine sliced mushrooms and 1 cup hot water. Set aside to soften.
- Lightly coat a 10-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.
- Steam or blanch broccoli florets until tender-crisp. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and milk to a boil.
- Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 6-8 minutes, or until the polenta thickens to the consistency of mashed potatoes.
- Stir in the softened mushrooms and their liquid, cooked broccoli, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and butter.
- Pour the polenta mixture into the prepared pie pan and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and chopped tomatoes over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
