Polenta (Cornmeal) Recipe

• 6 c. water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 c. polenta (cornmeal)
• 3 tbsp. butter (optional)
• Grated cheese
• Tomato sauce to taste

1. To prevent lumping - In large bowl or possibly covered jar mix cornmeal in about 1-2 c. of the water (cool water).
2. Whisk or possibly shake.
3. Bring remaining water and salt to a boil in heavy saucepan.
4. Gradually stir in polenta.
5. Gently simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking for about 30 min or possibly till mix is very thick.
6. Stir in butter.
7. Spoon from pan into a buttered bowl and let set for 10 min.
8. Invert onto a flat plate; mix will unmold and hold the shape of the bowl.
9. Spoon or possibly cut into thick slices.
10. Top with sauce and cheese.
