Recipe Instructions

2 1/2 c water

2 c low sodium chicken broth

1 ts salt

2 sprigs fresh sage

2 sprigs fresh marjoram

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

6 sprigs fresh chives

1 ts garlic -- minced

1 c yellow cornmeal

2 ts olive oil

2 TB herbs (same as above) --

: finely chopped

: vegetable cooking spray

Prepare Basic Polenta: 1. Bring the water, broth, salt and

herb sprigs to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Boil 2 minutes.

Lower the heat so the water is just simmering.

2. Pour the cornmeal in a slow and steady stream into the

water. Stir constantly until all the cornmeal is absorbed,

about 3 minutes. Stir in chopped herbs and garlic.

3. Turn the heat to very low; stir with a wooden spoon

every 2-3 minutes. The polenta is done when it adheres

to itself and pulls away from the sides of the pot,

20-25 minutes.

Prepare Grilled Polenta:

1. Lightly spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking

spray.

2. Pour the polenta into the pan and allow it to cool and

solidify at room temperature, about 30 minutes.

3. Preheat the broiler. Remove the polenta from the pan

and cut into 3/4-inch slices. Place them on a greased

heatproof dish. Brush both sides with the oil. Broil close

to the heat for a few minutes on each side until the

polenta is crusty, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
