While the ratatouille is simmering, make the Polenta Squares. Polenta is an
Italian cornmeal that is cooked with water into a pudding-like dressing at
table. mixture. It then needs to cool for at least 30 minutes before
cutting it into squares. At mealtime, reheat the polenta in the microwave
if necessary.
Combine water, stock, stock powder and pepper in large, heavy-bottomed pan.
Bring to a boil.
Turn heat to low and slowly add polenta in fine stream, Stirring constantly
with wire whisk to prevent lumps. Cover and simmer, stirring constantly,
until mixture is very thick, about 10 minutes.
Stir in butter or oil and all but 2 tablespoons of cheese. Spoon polenta
into lightly oiled 9-inch square baking dish and smooth it evenly. Sprinkle
with remaining cheese.
Cool until polenta sets, at least 30 minutes. Cut into 3-inch squares and
serve, either plain or topped with sauce. Makes 9 servings.
NOTE: Look for polenta in either the bulk section or packaged grains
section of your grocery or specialty store. Although similar in appearance
and taste, regular cornmeal does not work as well as polenta because the
grind is different.
