Meanwhile, place the polenta in a bowl with the cold water and stir until it is completely moistened. Turn heat under the boiling water down to a simmer and spoon in the wet polenta. Stir with a wooden spoon, and cook over medium- low heat for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until very thick. Turn the polenta out onto two dinner plates, spreading it into a thin circle all the way to the rims of the plates. Let it cool for at least 1 hour. It will become very firm. Cut the polenta into cubes or dice and proceed with the following recipe. NOTE: For an even crisper result, let the cut pieces " air out " for about an hour before frying.
