Cornmeal "pizza"


A real tasty treat - and very unusual too! It is not pizza of course in a traditional sense. But it is something definitely worth trying!

Cornmeal "pizza"

Recipe

2 Tbsp of butter
400g of cornmeal
1.5 litre of water
0.5 tsp of nutmeg
400g of feta (or to taste)
1/3 of red chili pepper (or to taste)
1/2 jar of olives (or to taste)
1 red sweet pepper
350g of cherry tomatoes
1.5 of medium courgettes (zucchini)
4Tbsp of olive oil (plus additional for greasing)
4tsp of Italian herbs (or to taste)
black pepper to taste
1 tsp of salt (or to taste - please note that feta cheese is salty, so I did not add any salt to my vegetables, only to water)

Cut all courgettes and olives into thin slices, cut red pepper into cubes of about 1x1cm. Mix all vegetables in a bowl, add olive oil, black pepper and Italian herbs. Cut chili pepper (remove the seeds!) into tiny pieces of about 1 mm each, add to the mixture. You can add any other spices you like in addition to these.

Boil water in a large saucepan, add salt and nutmeg. Then add cornmeal and boil for 2 minutes till the mixture thickens. Add butter.

Spread the hot cornmeal mixture over the greased baking tray (mine is 27x35cm). Put vegetables on top and bake at 200C for about 30 min. 10 minutes before the pizza is ready sprinkle with  feta cheese cut into cubes and bake till feta browns slightly.

Enjoy!
