Firm Polenta - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon salt
1 cup medium cornmeal

Preparation

In a large pot bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Add the salt and slowly pour in the cornmeal, mixing constantly with a wooden spoon until it is all incorporated.
Turn the heat to low and cook until it's smooth and no longer grainy (30-35 minutes). Be sure to stir often so that the bottom doesn't burn.
Spread the warm polenta evenly into a lightly oiled container and allow to cool.
When cool, cut the polenta into whatever shape you desire. Firm polenta can be grilled, baked or fried.
