Vegetarian Polenta Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon lemon-infused olive oil
    1/3 cup diced sweet onion
    1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    2 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves stripped and finely chopped
    2 1/4 cups water
    1/2 cup instant polenta
    1 pinch salt
    1 cup canned dice tomatoes, mostly drained
    1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, bell pepper, garlic, and oregano in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
    Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil; add polenta and a pinch of salt. Whisk and cook polenta until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
    Spread and flatten polenta into a 9-inch pie plate, forming a crust. Cool to room temperature.
    Layer diced tomatoes into the cooled crust; top with onion mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over filling.
    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
