Polenta, or Italian cornmeal mush, is a hearty accompaniment for Italian sauces, stews and braises. It can also be cooled, sliced, and either baked or fried. This polenta is a great building block for many variations. Serves six as a side dish.

on 11/22/2005 My grandma used to make polenta - only we just called it cornmeal mush - and the next day she would slice it, fry it and we'd have it with pancake syrup or powdered sugar on it.
