Even though this recipe takes about 40 minutes to prepare, it is very
easy to make. Using polenta is a wonderful way to have a healthy pizza crust and the toppings are only limited by your imagination.
Prep and cooking time: 40 minutes

3/4 cup polenta
2 1/2 cups water
1 Tbsp chicken OR vegetable broth
3 medium onions, cut in half and sliced thin
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
4 oz Gorgonzola cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste

Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a medium pot.

Slice onions and let them sit for at 10 minutes to bring out their
hidden health benefits.

When water comes to a boil, add polenta slowly while stirring, and
reduce heat to low. Continue stirring polenta and cook for about
10 minutes until it thickens. Wooden spoon should almost stand up

stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Add chopped
thyme and mix.
