Altered Pizza & Cake

Polenta-almond pizza

This recipe was found from the book Paula Heinonen & Satu Silvo's book Satumaista voimaa arkeen. It made for two pizzas, or then it could be for one large one. I rarely eat pizza, and it's so greasy and makes you feel quite dunk, but this was quite a ... "light"-version of a pizza (even though I could just squint for the word light)! It's also gluten-free! I think some spices could make the base more interesting, it was quite mild tasting.

Ingredients

The base:

225 g of polenta grits

1 l of water

2 tsp of salt

1 dl of crushed almond

Let the polenta grits boil in the salted water for 10 minutes, sturbing for the time. After that pour in to an oiled casserole for a 1-2 cm layer and let cool. Fill as a normal pizza as you like. Bake in 200 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

And we had some "mozzarella"-salad, but the mozzarella had passed it's best before-date, so the situation was saved with some cottage cheese! The taste is pretty much the same. The salad included fresh basil, wild rucola, pear, tomato and the cheese.

And now I have some pictures of the living nutrition's cake! http://nanae-n.blogspot.com/search/label/living%20nutrition That link holds the recipe used also in this one. This could be variated in so many ways, and it's under to-do-list to make different versions of this cake. I filled this with mashed banana and red-currant-jam, and put on top nectarine and apple, desiccated coconut and cinnamon. No sugar & flour used.
