How to Prepare Minty Pesto Polenta Stacks [Vegan]
- First, make the pesto. In a food processor, blend your spinach and mint leaves as fine as possible before adding the rest of the ingredients and blending until combined and the nuts are broken down.
- Line a loaf pan with sprayed baking paper with overhanging flaps.
- Boil the vegetable broth in a pot on the stove then add your polenta and cook according to instructions. Stir in your herbs in the last few minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a non-stick pan or pot, add your grated carrots, beetroot, curry, red wine vinegar, onion flakes, and jam and fry until softened and until the liquid is gone, 4 or so minutes.
- Transfer your fried and grated goods to the polenta and stir well to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Spoon the polenta into the loaf pan and spread it out as evenly as possible.
- Leave the polenta in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once you’ve put your polenta in the refrigerator, slice your cherry tomatoes lengthwise and toss it together with the blackstrap, herbs, and red wine vinegar.
- Place face-down on a lined baking tray and bake for 20 minutes until the tops get wrinkly.
- Remove the polenta and slice into 12-16 pieces.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then spread the pesto on top as well as a cherry tomato half and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve.
