Chickpea Puttanesca Over Polenta Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 18oz log prepared polenta - sliced into 12 (I used Trader Joe's Organic Polenta)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion - finely chopped
- 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 14 oz can garbanzo beans - drained and rinsed
- 3-4 cloves of garlic - minced
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives - quartered
- 2 tbsp capers
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mist with cooking spray, and then spread out the polenta slices evenly on the sheet. Mist lightly with the cooking spray and place in oven to cook until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the garlic, olives, and capers and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes. Simmer until the sauce is thickened and slightly reduced, about 20 minutes.
- Add garbanzo beans, and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Divide polenta between 4 plates and top with puttanesca sauce. Garnish with basil if desired.
