Recipe by: lgirardi@carbon.denver.colorado.edu (Leo J. Girardi) 1)
combine meal, salt, and cold water.  Slowly pour into the boiling
water, stirring constantly.  Again bring to boil, cover, reduce heat
to very low and simmer till thick, or about eight minutes, stirring
three times. 2) Pour into a greased 9" x 9" pan. Cool. Cover top with
wax paper. refrigerate till thouroughly chilled. 3) Turn out on a
cutting board. With a sharp, wet knife cut half the polenta in
one-inch squares and bake, broil, or fry, as indicated. Refrigerate  or
freeze remainder for later use.  My grandmother just sent me a "store
recipe" for Polenta (yes good  spelling).  This is from one of the old
Italian food stores in Denver.  Located in what, 30yrs ago, used to be
the Italian section of Denver.  Article goes on to talk about how
polenta is the "spaghetti of north  Italy", etc, etc...  well, now for
the way my grandfather (another Leo J. Girardi), and my  family have
always cooked it.  Note: use course ground corn meal. You should be
able to get it at a  local Italian market.(I can't find it at King
Soupers, Safeway, etc)  Use large caste iron pot (dutch oven etc), I
don't know if it will  work with any thing else.  :-)  boil water with
salt added.  slowly pour in, while stirring, corn meal.  Keep stirring
and adding  corn meal until thick. (note, use LARGE WOODEN spoon for
stirring,  known as a polenta stick -- This is what we were always
threatened  with when bad as children  :)  once cooked and thick.  turn
pan over, let cool a little.  Slice like  cake (into wedges) server
with sauce and romano cheeze.  Fry leftovers, cut into cubes, with
onions, garlic, potatoes, eggs,  etc. and server for breakfast.  Good
luck.  It tastes great, but some people don't really understand  it.
Oh, sorry for no "amounts".  My grandmother and grandfather taught me
to cood by "Thats enough" or "A little more". never used a measuring
cup, etc.  File
