Ingredients

– 2 tbsp of olive oil – 2/3 C onion diced – 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes – 6 garlic cloves pressed – 1 orange bell pepper diced – 16 oz frozen spinach thawed – 3 C of water – 2 1/4 tsp of sea salt – 1 tsp of tarragon or herb of choice – 1/4 tsp of mustard powder – 3/4 tsp of black pepper – 2 C of cornmeal

Lightly oil an 9 inch pie dish and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add onions and cook, stirring frequently until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, garlic and orange pepper and cook for 2 more minutes. Finally add Spinach and cook for 5 more minutes, until everything is cooked and heated through.

In a medium saucepan, bring the water, salt, tarragon, mustard powder and black pepper to a boil and slowly whisk in cornmeal. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture boils and spits cornmeal out all over the place, about 1-2 minutes.
