Polenta
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 2 egg yolks, beaten
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk to a low boil over moderate heat and add the salt.
- Slowly pour in the cornmeal, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 30 minutes, or until the polenta pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Off the heat, briskly fold in the eggs, beating until incorporated.
- Pour the polenta onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out a little less than 1/2-inch thick.
- Allow to cool thoroughly and cut into the polenta into rectangular or diamond shapes.
- (If serving with the quail, make sure the pieces are large enough for the birds to fit on).
- In a cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over moderate heat.
- When the oil is hot, fry the polenta on each side until golden.
- Place the polenta serving dish and set a hot roasted bird on each slice of polenta.
