Corn Pie “Diet” with Leeks Recipe
This time I offer you a diet cake made of corn groats without a gram of flour and with a minimum of butter. Ideally, it is prepared with a large bunch or even two bunches of fresh green onions. But it’s not the season, it’s not on sale, so we’ll do the same with leeks, and if not, then with ordinary sauteed onions. So…

Instructions
  1. Cut off the dark part of the leek leaves and throw them away, separate the white part from the light green part so that it is easier to wash, divide the green part into leaves and rinse in running water from the ground and sand. Shake off the water and put it on a towel to drain the rest of the water.
  2. The white part is slightly cut in the middle and carefully separate the tops of the first leaves, as in my photo, mine and shake off.
  3. Then cut the white and light green parts lengthwise and thinly slice. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a saucepan, mix and passer. If we had fresh green onions, we wouldn’t have to fry them – just crumble them into a cake preparation, and it would be even more dietary. So if you have it, feel free to take more. If you have an onion, then it will have to be saved, as well as leeks.
  4. So, we pass our leeks until half-cooked, stirring regularly. Whether you want it undercover or not, it doesn’t matter. I prefer not to spread it. You don’t need to fry it, just to soften it a little. That’s what he’s become.
  5. Let’s do the corn groats. If suddenly someone does not know, then it can be of three types: coarse, medium and fine grinding. You can call it not cereal, but “polenta”, because it’s the same thing. Fine grinding is similar to semolina. Not to be confused with corn flour! I have medium-ground cereals. As I have already indicated in the ingredients, take the grind that is available, it will still be delicious and everything will work out.
  6. My cereal volume is about 215 grams, it is difficult to say more precisely, but it is not so important. Take 210-220, make no mistake. Here you can look at the scales.
  7. Lightly rinse the grits, pour 1 liter of cold water and quickly bring to a boil, stirring constantly. The gurgling starts very quickly. Immediately reduce the heat to medium and stir very often! I mix thoroughly every minute so that the mass does not stick to the bottom and does not boil in lumps. Cook for 5-6 minutes. We need semi-dry cereal so that it only absorbs water. By the way, you can pour 100 ml into 1 liter. to make the pie more tender. In the process of cooking, I add a little salt to the grits, because the cheese is not very salty.
  8. Take 400 grams of cheese.
  9. And chop it with a knife.
  10. And now we put leeks and cheese in a frying pan with half-cooked grits and mix everything vigorously. Here is such a mass turned out. If we had fresh green onions, we would add them without pre-frying at this stage.
  11. Put the mass in a form previously covered with parchment paper. My shape is 32 cm in diameter, the height of the rim is 3.5 cm. the surface is slightly leveled.
  12. And carefully spread 2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise on top. It is better to smear them on the surface with a spatula, at the same time it will even out the remaining irregularities. Mayonnaise will give us a beautiful color when baking and a delicious smell!
  13. And we put it to bake in a hot oven, at a temperature of 180 degrees, for an hour. After an hour, turn off the oven and leave the pie in it for another 30 minutes. If you cook twice as much in volume, then the cooking time will have to be slightly reduced. Here’s the view from above.
  14. Then turn the pie upside down on a platter. That’s his opinion now.
  15. It can be seen that it is perfectly cooked and keeps its shape. Let cool a little, slice and enjoy the taste.
  16. Bon appetit
