Directions
Bring salted water to boil; add polenta, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon. Add butter and cheese; cook over low heat, stirring continuously
for 25 minutes. Polenta can be served with Italian sauce, or rinse a
shallow baking dish with cold water, pour in polenta mixture, spreading so
it is 1/2 inch thick. Cover; cut into 2 inch squares; saute in 1/4 cup
butter over moderate heat, turning 3 or 4 times until lightly browned and
serve as a starch with any kind of meat.
