Herbed Polenta

Directions

1. Add the polenta to a large saucepan and mix-in the bell pepper, parsley, oregano, salt, basil and black pepper.

2. Gradually add the water, stirring constantly with a whisk, to ensure the mixture remains smooth.

3. Bring the polenta to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

4. Stir-in the parmesan cheese.

5. You can either serve the polenta as it is as a base for sauce-based stews or you can pack into a greased springform cake tin, spreading evenly and tapping the mixture down.

6. Allow to cool until firm (over night, preferably), remove from the tin, cut into wedges and fry before serving.
