Polenta as cereal


I found this recipe at : http://www.eatingconsciously.com/ He called it perfect polenta--this is his recipe. I love the Hodgson Mill's yellow corn meal---very good stuff!! (This recipe serves one nice serving)

"Perfect Polenta:

1/3 C cornmeal
1 C water
2 TBS nutritional yeast (or more if you like!) {I forgot and it was still delicious}
1 clove garlic
1 TBS olive oil {I used just a spray}
salt and pepper to taste (I like a lot of black pepper in this)

In a pot, combine the cornmeal, water, nutritional yeast, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then turn heat down to low-med and cover. Stir every two minutes or so to avoid sticking to the bottom (it's inevitable, some will stick to the bottom, but you don't want a large amount to collect there). After the cornmeal mixture has cooked for about 10 minutes, it should be sticky and gooey. Pour out onto a plate and serve warm, or allow to cool and slice into pieces.

Tip: The sliced pieces can even be baked in the oven, or fried in a pan for even more deliciousness! "
