Cornmeal Pizza

1 cup cornmeal

1 1/3 cups water, divided

6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided

1 medium onion, chopped

1 small green pepper, julienned

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil

1 can tomato sauce

3/4 teaspoon dried basil

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

1. In a small bowl, combine the cornmeal and 2/3 cup water. In a saucepan, bring the remaining water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal mixture; cook and stir until thickened. Stir in 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. When cool enough to handle, pat into a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in oil until tender. Add the tomato sauce, mushrooms, basil, oregano and pepper. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the beans. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over crust. Top with the bean mixture and remaining cheeses. Sprinkle with olives. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
