Deep-Dish Polenta Pizza
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup polenta or cornmeal
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup (about 2 ounces) grated Parmesan
½ head radicchio, shredded
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
4 ounces mozzarella, cut into ½-inch dice
Heat oven to 400 F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan, round cake pan, or
pie plate with 1 tbsp of the oil and set aside. In a medium
saucepan, bring 2 ¼ cups water to a boil. Whisking constantly,
slowly add the polenta or cornmeal. Reduce heat to low and cook,
stirring until the polenta starts to pull away from the sides of the
pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the salt, ¼ tsp of the pepper, and the
Parmesan. Remove from heat. Spread the polenta over the bottom of
the prepared pan, using a spoon to form a raised edge. In a bowl,
combine the radicchio, tomatoes, mozzarella, and the remaining oil
and pepper. Spoon the mixture over the polenta. Bake for 30
minutes. Cut into wedges.
