-------- ------------ --------------------------------
12 ounces nonfat plain yogurt
1 cup polenta -- or yellow corn grits
3 cups water
1 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 cups bottled pizza sauce
1 cup red onion -- sliced
1/4 pound field mushrooms -- sliced
3 Tbsp capers
1 tomato -- sliced

The day before serving, prepare "cheese" by mixing yogurt with 1/2 tsp
(3g) salt and pouring into a strainer lined with several layers of
cheesecloth. Squeeze cloth gently around yogurt and place over bowl.
Refrigerate and let drain at least 10 hours. Carefully remove cheesecloth
from ball of cheese.

Bring water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Stir polenta
and 1/2 tsp (2g) salt into boiling water with a wire whisk. Reduce heat,

soft. Pour polenta into a 9-inch (23cm) nonstick pie plate and spread
evenly over bottom and up sides of dish.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread pizza sauce over polenta. Arrange
vegetables over sauce, then top with yogurt cheese, capers and Parmesan
cheese. Bake 25 minutes or until pie is bubbling hot throughout. Remove
pie from oven and top with basil.
