This pie crust is a great alternative to pastry. Once made, you can fill it with your favorite savory pie fillings.

Prep time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 65-75 mins

Ingredients:

1 cup polenta/cornmeal

3 cups water

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast or grated parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

For the crust:

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.

2) Place the stove onto high and bring the water to a boil in a medium pot. Gradually add in the polenta while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Turn the stove to medium heat and continue to stir the polenta for approximately 10-15 minutes until it becomes thick and a little challenging to stir. Mix in the remaining polenta crust ingredients.

3) Place polenta mixture into a greased pie dish and spread out until it covers the dish evenly. Place the crust in the oven and bake for 50 minutes to an hour, or until the crust had hardened. Use as the crust for your favorite savory pie or quiche recipe.
