YIELD:4 to 6 servings
1. Pour 1 3/4 cups water into a medium-sized saucepan, add
the salt, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, place the polenta in a
bowl with the cold water, and stir until it is completely moistened.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
