Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups fine yellow cornmeal

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter -- plus

more oil for grilling

 

Lightly coat 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick olive-oil spray and set

aside.

 

In medium saucepan, combine 4 1/4 cups water, cornmeal and salt; whisk

well. Cook polenta, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken. Add

oil or butter and cook over low heat, stirring with wooden spoon and adding

more water if necessary, a tablespoon at a time, to keep polenta from

becoming too thick, about 30 minutes. Scrape polenta into prepared pan and

smooth top. Cool, then cover pan and refrigerate overnight.

 

Preheat gas grill to medium or prepare charcoal fire. When ready to grill,

remove polenta from pan and cut into 1-inch-thick slices. Brush both sides

with oil and grill for 3 or 4 minutes each side. Serve grilled polenta hot

with grilled ratatouille.

 

This recipe yields 8 servings.

Comments: For best results, prepare the polenta the day before you grill it

so it has enough time to become firm and sliceable.
