Ingredients

  • 1 big carrot, shredded in long strips
  • 1 fennel bulb, chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) can green beans, chopped
  • 1 12 teaspoons onions, diced
  • 12 tablespoon olive oil
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 12 teaspoon turmeric
  • 14 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (1/2 a lime)
  • 12 cup cornmeal polenta
  • 1 12 cups boiling water
  • 14 teaspoon salt

Method

  • Shred the carrot with a grater and chop the fennel.
  • Cook them together in olive oil at medium heat in a large saucepan.
  • While vegetables cook, boil water and salt in a medium pot and add polenta when water is boiling hard.
  • Stir until it is thick and remove pot from heat.
  • Pour into a small greased glass baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Set aside somewhere warm for 10 minutes (or remainder of cooking time for vegetables).
  • When fennel and carrot begin to get tender, add onion, green beans, and spices (except for lime juice).
  • Cook until tender (even lightly browned at the edges).
  • Add lime juice and remove from heat.
  • Spread vegetable mixture evenly over cornmeal and heat at 400 for 5-10 minutes, or serve both side by side.
  • Enjoy!
