Another yummy thing I have made recently were these crispy polenta cakes:
250g (1 package) coarse polenta (yellow corn meal),
3 cups boiling water
1 tsp salt (optional)
Mix the ingrediants together in a large microwavable container and nuke it
for 4 mins at high power (covered cause it spits- and is *really* hard to
clean off). Check to see if it needs water - this seems to be highly
variable - see your package. Let it sit and thicken and cool for 15
minutes. Form into thick Garden burger sized patties and place them on a
nonstick baking tray. Cook till crip and golden - about 30 minutes at
400F. Make sure they don't burn.
Even my SNZD (Standard New Zealand Diet - roast lamb and potatoes) father
loved these.
