Polenta is a wonderfully versatile ingredient, as is shown by this quick and simple base for pizza. On its own, polenta can be quite bland, but it is an excellent foil for other flavours such as the tuna, olives, herbs and rich tomato sauce that make up the pizza topping. Serve the pizza with a green salad.
