One of my favorite breakfast or lunch dishes! This recipe combines the goodness of whole grain organic polenta (corn grits) with the savor of fresh tomatoes, avocados, green olives, and slices of delectably mild onions! But wait... there's a secret ingredient! Follow the recipe below to find out what takes ordinary corn grits and vegetables and turns them into a high-powered culinary delight!
High-powered Polenta:
3 cups organic polenta (or yellow corn grits)
6 cups water
1T Salt
2T Honey
1/4 to 1/3 Cup Coconut Milk (SECRET INGREDIENT!)
In large pot bring water (with salt added) to boil. Stir in polenta and reduce heat to low. As polenta begins to absorb water stir slowly to avoid scorching for an additional 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in honey and coconut milk.
Zesty Tomato Topping:
2 ripe tomatoes
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2t onion powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1t dried oregano or
2t fresh oregano
Salt to taste
Sautée the onions in water: use just a little water and stir to keep onions from burning. You may need to add more water as you continue to stir… With practice you can easily master this healthier alternative to frying! Once the onions have slightly browned add tomatoes and remainder of ingredients. Simmer 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally (since tomatoes are very moist, you will rarely need to add more water after this point).
Add Zesty Tomato Topping to individual servings of polenta. Garnish with sliced green olives and avocado. Eat for strength and enjoy!
