Dear List: The other day I was at Walmart and noticed "Melissa's Polenta"
with sun-dried tomatoes for $2.88. There were cooking suggestions on the
package, and I got one. It comes in the shape of a roll, so that you can
slice round pieces off the roll to cook them. I tried two different ways.
First, I fried some in olive oil till golden brown. The next time I
greased a cookie sheet with olive oil and baked them at 350 for 15 minutes.
For the baked group, I first drizzled them with more olive oil and then
sprinkled them with Greek seasoning, Ethiopian hot mitmita and a bit of
garlic salt. After I took them out of the oven, I place a slice of
extra-sharp cheddar cheese on each one. Very good!!! The time I fried
them, I put some Vietnamese hot garlic-pepper red sauce on top. It was
good, too, but the baked batch were much better. You could flavor them
however you like. This polenta is a good product to be able to find in
mainstream supermarkets. And it is so easy to fix! Buon Appetito! Roberto
