أصابع دقيق الذرة المقرمشة مع الكاتشب النباتي
Italian 30 Mins Prep · 60 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC, gas mark 7. Grease and line a 24cm x 20cm tin with baking paper.
- Chop the pumpkin (or butternut) into small cubes. Roughly chop the carrots. Halve the onion (or leek). Place the diced sweet potato, pumpkin, carrots, onion and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tbsp of olive oil and season well. Roast for 20 minutes or until soft and caramelised.
- In a saucepan, heat the vinegar, peppercorns, allspice berries, clove and bay leaf. Gently simmer for 5 minutes then strain.
- Place the vegetables in a blender with the tinned tomatoes, strained vinegar mixture and baby spinach. Blitz until smooth. Pour the ketchup into a saucepan and simmer gently until reduced and thickened.
- Add the stock to a large pot and bring it to a boil. Slowly whisk 150g of polenta, stirring constantly. Add in more water, if necessary. The polenta should be creamy with a porridge-like consistency. Once thickened, finely grate in the cheese and stir in the oregano and a pinch of salt.
- Pour into the lined tin and place in the fridge to chill and firm up, approx. 1 hour.
- Slice the chilled polenta into fingers and brush with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Dust with the extra polenta. Arrange on a greased baking tray in a single layer and bake for 30 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
- Serve with the ketchup.
