Ingredients

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 4 cups water
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. garlic, chopped

  • 1 cup sliced onion
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly coat an ovenproof dish with cooking spray.

  5. When the polenta is done, top with the cooked vegetables. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and herbs, if desired. Serve immediately.
