Prepare the polenta, cut with a pastry cutter into rounds to make more interesting shaped slices. Polenta slices can be frozen for up to a month. To use: defrost and reheat in the oven (180 degrees C, gas mark 4)for 20-25 mins until piping hot.
Cooking Instructions
Polenta is very versatile and can be used in so many many ways, but the basic way to prepare is to boil in water: Take 750ml (1 pint 5 oz) water or stock to every 120g (4 oz) polenta. Method 1. Bring water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Pour in polenta steadily, stirring constantly. You may want to add a little salt to taste). Continue to stir until polenta is thickened. It should come away from sides of the pan, and be able to support a spoon. This can take anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes. Pour polenta onto a wooden cutting board, let stand for a few minutes before serving. Serve with cheese, porcini mushrooms, a little butter, or herbs or try the recipe below.

Biona Organic Polenta - Tue 27th Nov 2007 We have ordered this product for 2 years now and it has always been excellent. It has a nice, grainy texture and makes superb cornbread. We also use it to bread and fry okra. It keeps very well in the refrigerator, too. In our opinion, it's the best product of it's kind sold in the UK. Reviewer's Name: Lauren
