Baked Polenta In Tomato Sauce
- 8 oz instant polenta
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 None onion, finely chopped
- 1 None carrot, finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 sprig fresh marjoram
- 2 1/4 lb ripe tomatoes, diced
- 2 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Line a 10x13 inch rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly oil a shallow baking dish.
- In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup salted water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and gradually add polenta in a thin, steady stream, whisking constantly, until smooth. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins, or until polenta comes away cleanly from side of pan. Transfer to rimmed baking pan and let cool. Once set, cut into 2 inch squares.
- Meanwhile, to make the tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, carrot, celery, garlic and marjoram for 5 mins, or until softened. Add tomatoes and season. Simmer for 10-15 mins, until thickened.
- Pour 1/2 the sauce into prepared baking dish. Arrange polenta squares on top and spoon remaining sauce over top. Sprinkle with Parmesan and bake for 30-40 mins, until bubbling and golden.
