Method

  • Make polenta first. In a saucepan, bring water, milk, 1/4 olive oil and salt to a boil. Reduce heat immediately, and pour in the corn. Stirring very frequently, simmer corn for about 15 minutes, until very thick.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment, and drizzle a bit of olive oil on it.
  • Spread polenta on the sheet evenly, to about 1/2 thickness, and shape into a circle, just like a pizza crust.
  • Let cool until nicely set.
  • Heat the oven to 425F.
  • Sprinkle polenta crust with freshly ground pepper, and bake for 30 minutes, until nicely browned around the edges. Keep the oven on.
  • While crust is baking, prepare the toppings. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil.
  • Saute pancetta, shallots and garlic for about 7-8 minutes, until nicely golden and very fragrant. Dont overcook.
  • Remove the pancetta topping into a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a bit more oil in the same skillet and saute baby spinach until wilted and dark green, for about 3 minutes or so. Again, remove the spinach and set aside.
  • Add pepper slices and saute for a couple of minutes until they are nicely wilted, for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Layer your toppings atop polenta crust, starting with cheese crumbs, followed by pancetta mix, spinach, peppers, and finally pine nuts. Arrange everything in a pretty way.
  • Drizzle just a few drops more of olive oil, and put back in the oven for 4-5 minutes.
  • Slice like a pizza or cut into 3 inch squares.
  • Serve immediately.
