Bring water to a boil. Reduce to simmer. Add salt.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Slowly stir in corn meal 1 C. at a time. Stir while you add to avoid clumps. Stir continuously for 12-15 min. Polenta will thicken. When it starts to pull away from the pot, turn off the heat and pour it into a greased dish or platter. Let cool 10-15 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Slice and fry until golden brown. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Variations:\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Garlic: You can mince the garlic and add it to the boiling water at the start, or you can roast the garlic (slice off the top, pour on 1 T. of olive oil, put on a pan in the oven at 450 for 30-45 min or until soft), mash it and mix in while the polenta is thickening.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Butter: mix in a few T. of butter when the polenta is thick.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Cooling: instead of a platter or dish, you can use C.cake tins to make little polenta cakes (my favorite), if you have any fun shaped cake pans that would work as well. Toppings: top with marinara sauce, basil or eat plain. Cost:\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Whole batch – $0.65 (with 3 clove garlic), makes 24 C.cakes\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Per serving – $0.09 ($0.03 per cake: serving size 3 cakes)<\/span><\/p>\n
