Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups water
1 tsp salt, divided
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup basil (fresh )
1 eggplant, medium, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 onion, medium, halved and sliced
1 green bell pepper , medium, julienned
5 tbsp olive oil, divided
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup kalamata olive, sliced, pitted and drained
1 tsp oregano, dried
1/4 tsp black pepper
fresh basil leaf

Directions:

In a large heavy saucepan, bring water and 1/2 tsp salt to boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook and stir with a wooden spoon for 15-20 minutes or until polenta is thickened and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan. Stir in minced basil.
Spread info an 8-in square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté the eggplant, onion and green pepper in 2 tbsp oil until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, olives, oregano, pepper and remaining salt. Cook and stir over medium heat for 10-12 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Cut the polenta into four squares. In another large skillet, cook polenta in remaining oil in batches for 7-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with ratatouille; garnish with basil leaves.
