Ingredients
1 polenta
1 vegetables of choice
1 ff mozarella (opt)
Directions
Have one of those boxes of polenta at home (the tube stuff doesn't
really work for this. If you want to make it more from scratch, feel
free!). Make it. While it sits on the stove top, chop up veggies.
Red, green, and yellow peppers are 'fun' (wheeeeee), while mushrooms
and onions tend to be 'on hand'. When the polenta is ready, pour
into a pyrex pan (round, square, heck even non-Pyrex is fine so long
as it is flat). Cover with spagetti sauce and veggies. Bake. Eat. My
less ff female friend (less ffff???) puts low fat skim mozarella on
it, I don't. Enjoy!

The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in recipe publications, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
We hope you enjoy this Polenta Pizza (Opt. Lacto) recipe.
