- about 1/2 log of precooked polenta, cut into 12, 1/2-inch slices or larger
- 2/3 cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into 12 pieces
- 3 tablespoons chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped tomato
- 1 banana pepper, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- crushed red pepper, optional
Place the polenta slices on a parchment paper-covered cooking sheet.
Whisk together the tomato paste, vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, sugar, oregano, chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture still seems a bit thick, thin it out with additional olive oil.
Distribute the sauce over the polenta slices evenly. Top each with a slice of mozzarella.
Combine the onions, tomato and peppers in a bowl. Toss with the balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper. Distribute the mixture over the polenta slices. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper, if using.
Bake the mini pizzas at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the toppings have browned and the cheese has melted.
Makes 12 mini pizzas.
