Ingredients
-
1 cup dry polenta (see glossary)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
10 sun-dried tomato halves
1 large onion, finely chopped
9 - 10 large garlic cloves, chopped, divided
½ lb. mushrooms, chopped
12 ounces roasted red peppers, finely chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
3 teaspoons dried basil, divided
1 lb. firm tofu
1 ½ tablespoons white miso
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed butter)
2 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Whisk polenta into 5 cups water, then add salt, thyme, and oregano. Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until very thick, about 25 minutes. Spread in an even layer, about 1/4-inch thick, on a large baking sheet. Cool.
Soak sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water until soft, about 10 minutes. Chop and set aside.
Heat 1/2 cup water and cook onion, 6 cloves garlic, and mushrooms until soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, roasted peppers, tomato sauce, and 1 teaspoon basil. Simmer 5 minutes.
Place tofu in a clean dishtowel and squeeze to remove some of the water. Transfer to a food processor. Add miso, remaining 2 teaspoons basil, and tahini. Process until completely smooth.
Heat 1/4 cup water in a large skillet, then add remaining 3–4 cloves garlic. Cook 1 minute, then add spinach, vinegar, soy sauce, and black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until all the liquid is evaporated.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
To assemble pizza: spread tofu mixture evenly over polenta. Top with spinach, then sprinkle with tomato sauce. Bake for 20 minutes
