Polenta.. my grandmother makes it.. Its cornmeal and water with sauce on top.. Heres the exact recipe:
9 Cups Water
1 Teaspoon Salt
3 Cups Cornmeal; coarse−grain|Bring water to a boil in a large heavy pot. Add salt and reduce heat until
water is simmering. Take cornmeal by the handful and add to water very
slowly, controlling the flow to a thin stream through your fingers. To avoid
lumps, stir quickly with a long handled wooden spoon while adding cornmeal.
If necessary, stop adding cornmeal from time to time and beat mixture
vigorously. Cook, stirring constantly, 20 to 30 minutes. Polenta will become
very thick while cooking. It is done when it comes away cleanly from the
sides of the pot. Pour into individuals plates.. Tilt the plates to spread it out..
let cool for a few minutes.. Add tomatoe sauce and let cool again for a minute and eat!
AND Soup.. Put some water in a huge pan add all veggies you have like tomatoes, celery, carrots etc.. And then chicken if you want.. Pretty much anything you have left over.. Buy in bulk it will cost less..
