Vegan Polenta with "Sausage" and Peppers


Vegetarian / Vegan

At first I wasn't going to include this in my Blog, because it's not really a recipe that I came up with. But I changed my mind when I realized some of us have busy lives and a quick and delicious meal may be all we are looking for


Ingredients

1 - Tube of pre-cooked Polenta

1 - Jar of your favorite pasta sauce

3 Vegetarian Sausage (I used Trader Joe's Brand)

1/2 medium onion, chopped

4 - sweet peppers, seeded and chopped

4 Cloves of Garlic, minced

6 Green Olives, sliced

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil

Instructions

Slice polenta into 1 Inch thick rounds

Saute Onions and Peppers in skillet  for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add minced garlic and saute 2 minutes

Move Garlic, Onions and peppers to a sauce pan and add Pasta Sauce and Olives and cook over 

low heat until it comes to a boil

If Necessary add a tiny bit of oil to skillet

Fry Polenta in Pan for about 4 minutes per side.  The longer it cooks the crispier the outside.  

remove from pan and place on plate lined with paper towels.

Cook Sausage according to package then remove to cutting board

Slice sausage into bite size pieces and add to Pasta sauce

Place two slices of Polenta on a plate cover with about 1/2 cup of sauce

Garnish with Shaved Parmesan Cheese
