How to Make Polenta Pie

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