POLENTA RECIPE

FOR ALL DAY LONG

Stephanie Clark

Sometimes it happens that something that is good for you actually tastes good.

Polenta is that: It is simply cornmeal, but fit for a main course at dinner as well as lesser meals through the day.

The following is a truly simple recipe done in the microwave.

START WITH DINNER:

IN PLASTIC OR GLASS MIXING BOWL

Mix 3/4 cup Polenta with 3 cups water –
Stir, cover, and microwave for 8 minutes.
Remove, stir well,micro uncovered 2 to 3 mins. more.

Use half for 2 dinners, spoon on plates and cover with very thick marinara sauce.

Spoon other half into 8 x 8 inch pyrex dish, spreading thin. Refrigerate.

BREAKFAST NEXT DAY

Use half from refrigerated pyrex dish to make 4 slices.
Fry in butter or margarine, serve with maple syrup.

LUNCH, TOO

Other 4 slices just fry in butter or margarine to add to
lunch menu.

If you need entire recipe for 6 to 8 dinner guests, simply repeat the recipe after the first and spread entire second batch thin in glass pyrex dishes.

When we were kids we called this Corn Meal Mush and still liked it
