Directions:
- Bring the water to a rapid boil.
- Gradually add the cornmeal in a thin stream, stirring rapidly.
- While continuing to stir, add the butter, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.
- Stir often, especially at the bottom of the pot, to avoid sticking.
- When the polenta has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of Parmesan.
- Pour the polenta into a well-buttered 12-inch casserole dish and let it cool for several minutes.
- Then refrigerate it until you are ready to assemble the casserole.
- Sauté the garlic and onions in oil until the onions are translucent.
- Add the carrots, celery, herbs, and spices, and continue to cook on medium heat for several minutes.
- When the carrots are bright in color, add the eggplant and continue to sauté for 5 minutes.
- Stir frequently.
- Add the peppers and zucchini and cook until tender.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine, if desired and simmer 5 minutes longer.
- Remove the vegetables from the heat and stir in the 1/2 cup Parmesan.
- Take the chilled polenta from the refrigerator and spoon on the vegetable sauce.
- Top with the grated mozzarella.
- Bake uncovered at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the cheese begins to brown at the edges.
- Allow to rest 15 minutes before serving.
- If you have too little time to bake the casserole, try serving the vegetables over hot polenta topped with the mozzarella.
- We prefer the casserole, but when time is of the essence, it pays to be flexible.
- Serve with a crisp green salad.
