Title: Polenta With Okra & Black Bean Tomato Sauce
Categories: Polenta
Yield: 4 Servings

Prepared polenta -OR-
18 oz Pkg polenta;
- sliced into 10 to
- 12 rounds
14 oz Can fire roasted diced
- tomatoes -OR-
6 Plum tomatoes; diced
15 oz Can black beans;
- drained & rinsed
3/4 lb Okra;
- up to 1 lb, sliced
2 cl Garlic; chopped
1 tb Oil
1 ts Oregano
1 ts Marjoram
Salt & pepper; to taste
2 tb Non-dairy cheese;
- grated (optional)

Total time: 20 minutes

Preheat oven to 350?F. If making your own polenta, after removing the
thickened polenta from the heat, pour it into a flat pan and smooth
out the surface with a spatula until level. Once cool, use a 3" round
pastry cutter to stamp out 10 to 12 rounds of polenta. Or form the
polenta into a 2" thick roll and slice when cool. Lay the polenta
rounds so they slightly overlap in the middle of a lightly oiled
baking dish. Place in oven to warm while preparing the okra.

Cut tops and tails off the okra and slice thinly. Chop garlic and
saute in 1 tb oil. Add okra and saute for a few minutes. Add
tomatoes, cover, and simmer until okra is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
If too much liquid, uncover and allow it to evaporate. Add drained
beans and mix lightly. Spoon mixture around and slightly over
polenta, leaving the tops of the polenta showing. Top with grated
cheese if desired and return to oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese
melts.

Tips:

Make this polenta recipe practically instant, with a store bought
polenta roll, canned black beans & tomato sauce, and frozen sliced
okra, which needs only to be heated through in the tomato sauce. Just
assemble the dish, sprinkle the cheese and heat in the oven.

Fresh okra in season can be found fabulously fresh and reasonably
priced at farmers markets in the summer. Likewise ripe plum tomatoes,
bursting with flavor.
