Point Count: Criminally Easy Polenta
Modified from ng-la's recipe, found on the boards at digsmagazine.com
1 cup polenta/cornmeal
4 cups water
pinch of salt
Stir together in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high power for 6 minutes. Stir; microwave another 6 minutes. Stir again and nuke for another 6 minutes.
8 points for the whole batch; don't forget to add points for cheese, butter, or oil that is added.
You can add herbs or evoo to taste; I think I'm going to try making a pizza crust out of it tomorrow night! I miss pizza, but I think it would make two crusts, and that they would be 4 points each... yum. Lots of room for toppings!
Added bonus - polenta is a CORE food.
