Vegan Polenta Bites with Salsa
- 3 cups Vegetable Broth (or Water)
- 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
- 1 cup Coarse Cornmeal
- 1 cup Prepared Salsa
- In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable broth or water to a boil with the chili powder.
- Stirring constantly, add the polenta.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until the polenta is creamy and very thick.
- It should coat a wooden spoon thickly when it is done.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Spoon the polenta into a greased 24-count mini muffin tin.
- Make sure you press the polenta firmly into the pan so that the bites dont crumble when you remove them.
- You know how cornmeal gets.
- Press your thumb or a spoon into the center of each muffin bite to make a shallow dent.
- Chill at least an hour, or up to 1 week.
- Preheat oven to 375 F when ready to bake.
- Set 1 teaspoon of salsa into the dent that you made in the top of each bite.
- Bake at 375 F for 20-30 minutes, until the polenta is crispy and browned around the edges.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
